Given external evidence that my performance is reduced, I don't think getting myself to go to sleep will be a significant problem. My issue is usually the belief that I'm still getting useful stuff done, and actively resisting sleep on that basis; evidence to the contrary is something I think I would treat as real data.
I'm thinking that it should be possible to decide when to sleep based on reduced performance.
Can anyone suggest a tool for that purpose? Perhaps some reaction time testing software?
I guess I would have to track myself during the day to make a baseline, which is fine.
But without some sort of test I end up staying up way pass effectiveness, which is a waste of my time.
