How is shift working similar to split sleep? One is working arbitrary schedules, the other could be seen as "I go to bed at 8pm with the sun, and happen to wake up every night at like midnight to work for a few hours and then pass out again". They're entirely different shapes.
Yes, it's reasonable to say we shouldn't take medical advice from historians; but, finding your most creative times of the day isn't really a medical thing, it's a "what works for me" or "what I've noticed about myself" sort of perspective.
How do we measure creativity anyway?
- aaron695 12y agoShift work is not necessarily about differing sleep cycles there evidence it's about working at night and lighting. But other than that I don't disagree. My beef is about broken sleep existing. 1.5 billion people currently live without electricity and so did their parents and their parents parents. But broken sleeps evidence is a historian basically cold reading 200 year old fiction books. And even people like gwern are not saying, this is BS where is the evidence broken sleep is a thing? It might be great for creativity, so is LSD, go for it, I definitely want a more creative world. I'm just saying know where you stand and quit on the BS that everyone used to do it, unless you have real proof.
