summary

The talk names collapsed from sleep deprivation, criticizes neurocapitalism that treats brains as exhaustible resources, recounts failed Balzac and DaVinci rhythms experiments, highlights the science of the internal clock, and describes rehiring a night-shift assistant whose schedule fit his rhythm as a practical solution rather than forcing shorter sleep.
