Summary
This episode discusses the creative process and how novel configurations of familiar elements result in creative works.

Summary
The speaker advises the listener to minimize overhead bright light exposure in the evening from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. to stabilize their circadian rhythms of sleep and wakefulness, which can benefit learning and performance. Morning light exposure, on the other hand, can improve sleep cycle predictability and make the body want to wake up earlier.
