he had a sleeping disorder
Descartes is known for his dedication to work and routine. It is likely that he chose to stay in bed until 11 am in order to spend time thinking and reflecting in solitude before beginning his day. This practice may have helped him focus and generate new ideas.
Descartes had the habit of sleeping in and waking up late, often not rising before 11 am, due to his belief that morning hours were unproductive and better spent in bed contemplating his philosophical ideas in a relaxed state. He felt that he was most creative and productive in the quiet, solitary hours of the night and early morning.
What? Pyrrho died more than 18 Centuries before Descartes!
How did Rene Descartes come up the cartesian plane?
Are you talking about my parents trying to wake me up in the morning? Cause that's what it sounds like. NOBODY wakes me up before 11am.
Descartes was a student of all the philosophers and mathematicians who had preceded him. Every great thinker builds on what has come before. Beyond that, he thought about interesting unanswered questions and tried to come up with answers.
