Descartes didn’t get up before 11 am because he developed his lifestyle like that when he was studying the Books of Clavius. He would use the excuse that ‘he was too sickly to get out of bed and so he thinks until 11am’.

Descartes is known for his dedication to work and routine. It is likely that he chose to stay in bed until 11 am in order to spend time thinking and reflecting in solitude before beginning his day. This practice may have helped him focus and generate new ideas.
