The Most Common Thing Among The Top 16 Geniuses
RJ Andrews, a top data visualization expert and founder of INFO WE TRUST, an information graphic studio company, drilled and diced across the 161 top geniuses of all time and filtered to get The Top 16 Geniuses. And guess what is The Most Common Thing Among The Top 16 Geniuses. NOT their successes. NOT their trailblazing stories💴💷💵
Guess WHAT was the result of his research? Except for Wolfgang Mozart, the other Top 15 Geniuses all shared one commonality and that is, every 24 hours, they all spent between seven to nine hours of sleep everyday. Science tells us there's a VERY REAL connection between CREATIVITY and SLEEP😀😀😀
Often neglected [I am damn guilty of it for many years in the past], SLEEP is a vital component of every person's overall health and well-being. SLEEP is important because it enables our body to repair and be fit and ready for another day. Getting adequate SLEEP may also help prevent potential heart disease and illnesses that stretch out in duration❌❌❌
Something peculiar about the study is that it DIDN'T seem to matter whether they went to bed late and got up late OR went to bed early and got up early OR even had a SLEEP routine that can only be described as bizarre. Honore de Balzac, the French novelist, apparently slept from 6pm to 1am and with an additional 90-minute nap at 8am. Aside from the importance of SLEEP, what else can we learn from these top geniuses❔❔❔
NOT a surprise, Charles Darwin, the top genius best known for his contributions to Biology took three WALKS a day. This research confirms that WALKING has benefits for mood and brain function, particularly if you do it in any sort of natural setting. BTW, these Top Geniuses are aware of the 'DECISION FATIGUE', hence they are sticklers to their routines. And that explains why Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs wore the same outfit everyday. WHY? It takes one daily decision out of the equation. Meanwhile, should we take a page from that commonality of the Top Genius by sticking to seven to nine hours of SLEEP everyday❓❓❓
