I’ve read (sorry no sources, about to go to sleep) that that turned out to not be a super scientific thing, and that while some people might’ve gotten temporary placebo benefits out of davinci naps, it didn’t turn into long term sustainable gains in overall energy.

I say this as I’m about to do 48 hours with 10 hours of sleep, but I’m doing this to hit a really cool deadline, and I’m not under the illusion that this is sustainable.

What deadlines are really cool? Just curious, sorry.

While i was in university at some point we had to program a compiler in C for our computer's class. I remember many sleepless nights with my friends and alone implementing that. I had a blast and had no problem doing those kind of cycles. Now I'm 40 and dont think I'll do it ever again. But at the time it was thrilling.

Fun things you really care about? I once spent almost three days straight writing some VJ software for a music festival I was performing at. Really cool… still a deadline.
