Ive been really curious lately about Mozart's sleep schedule. Ive been sleeping like a normie for the last 2 years, not staying up late. But I have been practicing into the evening lately, and find myself making much more progress on the Mozart I am working on. I just imagine him working under candle light, and somehow find a kindredness to his spirit.
I haven't done any deep dives into biographies... but I googled it and it said he typically composed/worked until around 1am, and woke up at 5! am. Reminded me of the sort of Elon Musk types who are hyper driven and sleep deprived.

He composed on the clavichord so as not to disturb anyone. He had to get up early for the hairdresser! (and no doubt the children woke him up)
never taught a child who had poor technique, just poor practice

I've been truly inquisitive recently about the sleeping plan. I've been dozing like a normie throughout the previous years, not keeping awake until late. Presently I am exceptionally happy with my sleeping plan on account of my mattress, Here are the connections https://www.talkaboutsleep.com/best-mattresses-for-scoliosis/

I guess Mozart was born too soon. Then again if he had had one of these high-tech mattresses, he would have slept a lot more and composed a lot less!  Lucky for us he lived in the before-superior-modern-mattress-times.

He would have had a straw mattress restuffed after every harvest - far more hygienic.

Lucky for us he lived in the before-superior-modern-mattress-times. Not sure if your being serious but Mozart stayed up late at night to compose. He was often low on funds and under great financial pressure to complete compositions quickly. He would not have slept more if he had a different mattress.

No, I'm not being serious. The topic is absurd to begin with. I'm just playing with it a bit. Especially since another poster linked to a mattress website. (Emojis are usually a good indicator that someone is not being serious BTW.)
