Aha! I have thought this for some time, that there is a level of tiredness where I actually get quite a bit more done. Likely because I am too tired to split my focus and have my mind wander.
That said I find my effectiveness at decision making deteriorates, so it would only be good for tasks where the right path is obvious. For important complex decisions I think I am still better off well rested.

For important complex decisions I think I am still better off well rested. My experience is the same. Sadly it's not just specific decision making, but all the important parts of my life depend on me having good executive function or they might happen even if I know the way forward.

- Esus 3y agoI think I might have saw something about this in the book When, but might have been a different one. They described it as when tired, the guards of judgement that normally stand when we're well slept are less active. Not sure how accurate it is, still trying to test it. > For important complex decisions I think I am still better off well rested. 100%.
