Biphasic Sleep and self-organization - Methods to increase a film composer’s work efficiency?

Schäfer, Natalie LU (2024) MUUM04 20241
Malmö Academy of Music
Abstract (Swedish)
The aim of this written thesis is to expand the toolbox for fast and high-quality work for film composers. Using autoethnography and a self-conducted sleep experiment, the author attempted to find out if biphasic sleep increased work efficiency.
The author was unable to adapt biphasic sleep as a new tool and found that a combination of naps and the use of various self-organization methods such as the Alpen method and ABC method can increase their work efficiency.
Based on these findings, the author also provides recommendations for creating a special planner for film composers and suggestions for further experimentation.
