New York Times has an excellent article on the importance of sleep. A quote from the article:
Steven P. Jobs, the chief executive of Apple Computers, once defined creativity as “just connecting things.” Sleep assists the brain in flagging unrelated ideas and memories, forging connections among them that increase the odds that a creative idea or insight will surface.
Also a sleep deprived brain is unable to absorb, process and remember new information. This is why it is bad to stay up all night studying just before exams or preparing the night before for your major project/presentation.
Therefore, if you are sleep deprived, it is better to sleep like this…
…than this!
You will be more productive in a lesser amount of time and appear smarter than your hard working, sleep deprived colleague.
