I actually wrote a research paper on this phenomenon, at least the one in the inset about interruptions harming productivity: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/poms.12089/abstract
I wrote most of my book between 11 and 2, that’s for sure. Lots of it on my phone, in bed!
It forgets to mention phone calls. Not only those for the programmer himself but also those for any other person in the same room. Nothing distracts more than only hearing one side of a (phone) conversation.
