Yes! Well, mostly biphasic, sleeping around 6h/night and a 20min nap in the day. I will dig into my data to see if anything lies in there, but the kinds of cards I’ve had in my deck have changed substantially over that time, so I don’t put much weight behind this.
I just go quote/source.
Can you give an example? What would be the front/back of the card? Or what would cue you to think of the quotation in the first place, especially if you have several from the same source?

Why does anyone think of a quote? It comes to mind as a convenient way to express some sentiment or situation. An example from a few minutes ago on IRC:
14:56:31 < X> how are you doing today?
14:57:28 <@gwern> X: feeling a bit put out that I sort want to go for a walk but I sort don't
and I no longer have the dog which would have pushed me over
the edge in favor of taking a walk
14:57:44 <@gwern> 'those barbarians were a solution, of sorts'
A paraphrased quote from Cavafy’s “Waiting for the Barbarians” encapsulates my vague frustration at the moment over losing my dog (died Thursday) as a commitment device for getting some minimal exercise.
What is there about my dog or daily walks that relates to Cavafy? Nothing, but it’s a favorite poem of mine and there are quotes in my Mnemosyne and so it comes to mind.

The easiness settings in theory would help adjust for changes in card difficulties, I think.
There’s hundreds in http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/182368464/gwern.cards.7z but it’s literally what I said.
