Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Let’s talk about the patterns of geniuses: quirk, unique things.
Rick Rosner: There’s a book and website. I’ll have to look’em up so that we can stick them in here. We can see week-by-week details geniuses routines or lack of routines of people that people consider geniuses. Artists and scientists, and their schedules are very idiosyncratic. Though probably if you looked at any sufficiently large group of people, you’d find a lot of people who have given into their eccentricities and decided to live more or less on their own schedule.
If you’re on a 9–5 job, your life circumstances are going to help determine your schedule. If you’re a genius, this has helped make you, helped make you, self-employed, the fruits of your creativity if you’re an artist, painter, scientist, you might have more freedom to follow an eccentric schedule, but a number of the greatest geniuses followed an eccentric schedule. Different sleep schedules, some geniuses say they get by on very little sleep. I think Trump who is anything but a genius says he gets by on very little sleep. There are variations about how much sleep people get.
Some get 6 a night. Some get more than 8. Some naturally do that. Some do that under some degree of duress. Say they’re a doctor working as an intern, and they are expected to put in 80 or 100 hours per week, though they are relaxing that kind of stuff because that tends to kill patients when you’re being treated by beginning doctor who hasn’t slept in 36 hours.
But some people claim that they can get by on 4 hours a night sleep and then they use the extra hours to increase their output. You brought up the point that those people may be thinking they’re sleeping 4 hours a night, but other times during the day they may be nodding off or half of their brain may go to sleep and leave the other half in charge.
