Ask HN: Does anyone else struggle to do computer work when tired?

I’m specifically referring to a lack of sleep. I’ve noticed that if I’m sleep deprived, especially if there’s a sleep debt of a few bad nights in a row, I feel really unmotivated and it’s difficult to concentrate. Of course everyone is far happier and performs much better when well rested. But I feel like it potentially affects me more than other people. The difference is astounding, I’d estimate a 80% reduction in motivation and cognitive ability if I’ve had a few 4 hour nights in a row. Sitting in front of a computer concentrating on something complex feels almost physically painful, when I’m well rested I’m usually quite upbeat and pretty excited about the projects I’m working on. Does anyone else feel this way? Any suggestions For things that have helped you perform at your best when you’re exhausted?
