Sleep deprived a little, like stay up really late but without sleep debt: +5 GQ points.
Are you sure about the sign here?
I think I’m more prone to some kinds of creative/divergent thinking when I’m mildly to moderately sleep-deprived (at least sometimes in productive directions) but also worse in precise/formal/mathetmatical thinking about novel/unfamiliar stuff. So the features are pulled apart.
No yeah that’s my experience too, to some extent. But I would say that I can do good mathematical thinking there, including correctly truth-testing; just less good at algebra, and as you say less good at picking up an unfamiliar math concept.
