成功人士不用睡觉吗

那么从科学角度讲，通宵熬夜为什么有此奇效？为什么它是职业发展过程中的有效工具？毕竟，一般想法都是睡觉是好事、缺觉可能会犯糊涂。

In fact, while sleep is a vital element in a professional life, all-nighters, when employed wisely, also can play a unique role. For instance, in a 2011 study, 'Time of Day Effects on Problem Solving: When the Non-Optimal Is Optimal,' by researchers at Michigan State University and Albion College (Michigan), two groups of adults were presented with riddles that required the use of creative insight. The first group attempted to tackle these problems at the 'high point' in their circadian rhythm. The other group had to do so when feeling less awake and alert. The tired subjects were significantly better at solving these problems, while just as effective at solving other, less creative tasks.

事实上，虽然睡眠是职业生涯中不可或缺的元素，但熬夜只要得当，也可以发挥独特的作用。比如密歇根州立大学(Michigan State University)和密歇根阿尔比恩学院(Albion College)的研究人员2011年的论文《连轴转对解决问题的作用：非最佳时间表现最佳》(Time of Day Effects on Problem Solving: When the Non-Optimal Is Optimal)写道，两组成年人都拿到要求动用创造性思维的思考题，第一组要在他们生物钟的“高点”解答这些问题，第二组则要在感到没那么清醒、警觉的时候来解答问题。结果疲惫的那一组解答这些问题的成绩明显更好，而在完成其他对创造性要求更低的任务时，他们的效率跟第一组是一样的。
