<P><FONT FACE="Arial">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?)</FONT></P>
