Hi
many people with a high i.q. have a lot going on in their minds almost constantly, and many take naps at some point during the day. What seems to be happening is they become a bit overwhelmed with sensory overload, too much data, and like a computer, need to 're-boot' occasionally to clear out all the random mental chatter. I know I do, and I have a nominally high I.Q of 160. There are of course many contributing factors, like the kind of work they do. Sometimes thinking through a tough problem, and coming to a workable conclusion can take more energy that digging ditches all day, hence the tendency to sleep more. The brain needs rest just like the rest of the body, and consumes vast amounts of energy while working at a high cognitive level.

For whatever reason, it seems that people with high IQs tend to sleep more than average. Nobody knows why.

They work and read more, that is why. Otherwise how can u be intelligent without the hardwork and effort.
