LEGENDS OF THE PILLOW: Einstein’s Relative Rest 🧠✨
When he wasn’t rewriting the laws of physics, Albert Einstein was rewriting the rules of rest.
While some tried to survive on four hours of sleep, Einstein prioritised ten hours a night, plus his legendary daytime naps. He understood something most of us forget: breakthrough thinking doesn’t come from burnout.
His most “E=mc²” ideas weren’t forced at a desk. They arrived in the quiet moments in between.
He’d sit in a chair holding a pen, drifting off. When the pen dropped, it was his cue, rested just enough to return to the universe’s biggest mysteries.
Genius, it turns out, isn’t just about intelligence.
It’s about knowing when to rest.
