Ah, this after I laid awake in bed (or so I believe) until 5, decided to get up and get to work. I'm cursing myself with insomnia by cycling in and out of 24, 48, and, in rare cases, 72 hour cycles. Yet I seem to work best with at least some degree of exhaustion.

I generally hit peak efficiency between 20 and 32 hours. Beyond that, I'll have bursts of productivity with the remaining time filled by mindless distractions. Those bursts last anywhere from thirty minutes to several hours but their frequency drops as the day(s) go on.

If I'm well rested I feel a lot better in general but I'm so easily distracted that my productivity drops like a rock.

Having written this,I suspect I'm on a perpetual downward spiral where my sleep patterns fuel an unhealthy lifestyle which I then remedy by subtracting sleep...
