[Avodah] To Sleep Perchance to Dream

[Rich, Joel]

An earlier post discussed the "learn till you drop" model.

Question: Assume for the moment that the research done on sleep
deprivation etc. for other fields of endeavor implies that the net long
term knowledge gained is greater if one gets appropriate rest and
studies somewhat less than if one studies under conditions of sleep
deprivation. (comments welcome as to whether my  understanding of the
research is  accurate ).   Which is a greater kiyum of the mitzvah  of
talmud torah - learn till you drop or learn to maximize
knowledge(perhaps there are 2 mitzvot - one to learn all the time and
the other to know kol hatorah kula?)
