I wonder if that productivity effect is part of what enabled Fuller's gift of gab. I noticed that when I really need to bust through a lot of outward-facing sensory or communicative tasks, a sleep deficit is very helpful. For example I posted a personal-record number of blog posts while working on little sleep--to the point that some blog readers emailed me and asked how I did it. I found it hard to recommend the procedure because there were big tradeoffs in other ways, like a deep sense of inner resilience and confidence that only returned in strength when I was rested up again.
