Original Title: TIL that Michael Crichton, the author of “Jurassic Park” (1990), was a workaholic who followed what he called “a structured approach” of ritualistic self-denial, where, while writing a book, he’d rise increasingly early each day. At one point, Crichton would go to bed at 10 PM and wake up at 2 AM.
