Sleep quality and consistency associated with better academic performance (2019)
The more sleep-deprived I am - the worse my working memory feels to work, nevertheless the more productive I am. A sleepless night gives highly elevated productivity during the next day. I feel boost of attention capacity, inspiration and creativity. It even gets easier to do mental math.<p>Obviously a sleepless night also causes some physical discomfort but 500 mg of L-tyrosine cures it (and itself also gives some extra boost).<p>I also used to practice taking a nap every time I come home from the office but such an evening nap always (since my early childhood) makes my mood horrible (grouchy, unenthusiastic and asexual) for hours to come.
