In grad school I developed a sleep every other day lifestyle. Would not recommend.

Was it more productive, objectively speaking, than being consistent and not dealing with the constant drainage due to severely lacking sleep?

The logic was that I could have 36 hours uninterrupted, and then sleep for like 12, averaging 6 per 24 hours, which seemed reasonable.

It’s a recipe for burnout, but I did get a lot done. A good protocol for very tight important deadlines, but it took its toll.

Toll noticable only back in those days or even in the future?

Nothing but a deep forehead wrinkle :P
