Impact of a Night of Sleep Deprivation on Novice Developers’ Performance (2018)
I've bought recently one of those cheap wrist bands.<p>One of the most important features for me was ability to measure sleep quality in terms of "daily hours of deep sleep," whatever that scientifically means.<p>Over the course of several months, I've been able to identify things which affect my sleep quality:<p>* eating late: bad<p>* drinking late: one beer... not really that bad<p>* answering work emails until midnight: REALLY BAD (even while drinking soothing chamomile tea during soft rain)
etc.<p>I'm trying as reduce as many "bad" things as possible as I can feel a <i>huge</i> difference between 30 mins and 3+ hrs of deep sleep, as measured by the device.<p>I feel much better during the day, can work more productively and, most importantly, my "fuse" seems to be much longer.<p>Probably best $30 ever spent.<p>(still missing weekend code binges of early 20s, though :/ )
