Does everyone else have the choice of these passive bonuses, or just me? If I can sleep from 11-5 and have it feel like I slept until 8 that's super unless I'm the only one awake. Who cares about the hours of the day when you're totally isolated from the rest of the world? Those may as well not count.
It's starting to look like fast learning may be a winner if I'm the only one who can get a bonus. After a certain point, intelligence in terms of my-brain-can-beat-up-your-brain doesn't really matter. But the faster you can learn, the faster you can do pretty much anything. You can go to a new city and spend less time being lost. You can get promoted more quickly at work. You can remember people's names and faces and interests better, which is a huge social benefit. Learning more quickly isn't just about school. It helps everywhere and may be the actual best choice.
