Has anyone ever died from studying to much?

I think many of his mental breakdowns also have to do with the fact that he had a big amount of mercury into his blood, thanks to his experiments in alchemy.

Yeah, but you don't think his profound discoveries had anything to do his obsession with studying, do you?

I mean, he was downright genius, so probably the extra hours he spent at his desk were spent in futile, becuase research has shown productivity decreases if you study more than five hours, so you don't accomplish much, right?

Research on what sample of persons? Likely not a bunch of Newtons...

We also don't know whether Newton sat at his desk for 16-18 hours straight. Maybe he took tea breaks or the 16-18 hours included the time he spent thinking about this work. At any rate, maybe his productivity didn't decrease too much...

I died from studying too much. OK, I'm not dead yet, but I will die soon.

"Bring out your dead!" Too much studying! I can't die yet, though. More studying to do...
