Circadian Optimization Survey

Mapping individual chronotype alignments against peak calculation speed and vulnerability to tactical blunders.

What is your natural biological sleep-wake cycle?

During which specific hour block do you feel your tactical vision is absolute, sharp, and effortless?

Statistically, when do your most uncharacteristic, obvious 1-move blunders occur?

How does competitive anxiety affect your sleep the night before a major over-the-board match?

How reliant are you on stimulants (coffee, energy drinks) to artificially force your brain into peak calculation mode during off-hours?

Detail how asynchronous time controls (e.g., fast Bullet vs slow Classical) are affected by your biological fatigue. Can you play Bullet while tired but not Classical, or vice versa?
