Sleep: Educational Impact and Habit Formation
In a field experiment among US university students, incentives for sleep increase both sleep and academic performance. Our primary intervention pairs bedtime reminders with morning feedback and immediate rewards for sleeping at least 7 hours on weeknights. The intervention raises the share of weeknights with 7+ hours of sleep by 26% and average sleep by 19 minutes during a 4-week treatment period, with posttreatment effects of 8 minutes. Immediate incentives outperform both delayed incentives and reminders/feedback alone during treatment but have no distinguishable impacts posttreatment. The primary intervention improves average semester course performance by 0.075–0.089 grade points, a 0.10–0.11 standard deviation increase. Our results demonstrate that incentives targeting sleep can be a cost-effective approach to improve educational outcomes.

The Mythical Agent-Month – Wes McKinney
Like a lot of people, I’ve found that AI is terrible for my sleep schedule. In the past I’d wake up briefly at 4 or 4:30 in the morning to have a sip of water or use the bathroom; now I have trouble going back to sleep. I could be doing things. Before I would get a solid 7-8 hours a night; now I’m lucky when I get 6. I’ve largely stopped fighting it: now when I’m rolling around restlessly in bed at 5:07am with ideas to feed my AI coding agents, I just get up and start my day.

autosuspend 11.3.0 documentation
autosuspend is a daemon that periodically suspends a system on inactivity and wakes it up again automatically in case it is needed. For this purpose, autosuspend periodically iterates a number of user-configurable activity checks, which indicate whether an activity on the host is currently present that should prevent the host from suspending. In case one of the checks indicates such activity, no action is taken and periodic checking continues. Otherwise, in case no activity can be detected, this state needs to be present for a specified amount of time before the host is suspended by autosuspend. In addition to the activity checks, wake up checks are used to determine planned future activities of the system (for instance, a TV recording or a periodic backup). In case such activities are known before suspending, autosuspend triggers a command to wake up the system automatically before the soonest activity.

There's an AI coding approach that lets you run seriously long-running AI agents (hours, days) that ship code while you sleep. I've tried it, and I'm not going back.It's the Ralph Wiggum approach. Here it is in a nutshell:Run a coding agent with a clean slate, again and again…— Matt Pocock (@mattpocockuk) January 4, 2026
