[extropy-chat] Sleeplessness

[Paul Grant]

I'll have to give that a try; I don't usually read before going to
sleep.
Anyway, I have terrible recall for stuff (excellent recall for ideas).
well at least someone else has it happen that way :) so I'm not alone :)

Same for me. I often wake up and have a clear solution in mind. Also I
noticed that the evening->morning memory is absolutely the best one - if
I read something before sleeping, and I'm paying the due attention, I
can recite it almost verbatim the morning after (not just pseudo-photo
memory, since I could reason about it). After one entire day, memory
starts to miss pieces here and there - but it was very useful in school
during exam crunches :))
