Sleep and Creativity
After reading a Globe article warning about the effects of sleep deprivation on creativity, I wondered if that might be what's at the root of my blogging block. For a while I've had trouble sleeping more than 6.5 hours a night when studies show that at least eight is needed for optimal creative work and problem-solving. Since I'd rather do anything than toss and turn in bed, it's unlikely I'll be trying to get more sleep than my mind or my body offers me.
