I watched a video on youtube the other day about the science of sleep. The main takeaway was that not enough can affect decision making.
I was all prepared to reject the ideas in the video; however it said that only 5% of the human population have a gene that means they are fine on 6 hours or less. As somebody who has trained myself over the last 2 and a half years to survive on around 5 hours a night, I suddenly realised that the likelihood that I am one of these people is slim.
Moreover, before the results of my actions; how would I know my decisions are bad?
It's kind of like competence; you need a certain amount to realise one's own incompetence...
Anyways, I have been trying to get more sleep, last night I went to bed at 8:45, it is now 04:22 and I have been up for around an hour and a half...
I think I do need to stick with this; as every Wednesday I tend to have a bit of a crash; and feel like writing off the day shortly after lunchtime, even Modafinil doesn't help.
Interested to know what others think...
