I also think that a lot of AI safety researchers have ADHD which needs to be dealt with using stronger routines and/or medication.
Because many people in AI safety are very young and have been able to be successful without strong routines, they haven't built up those routines or gotten diagnosed.
ADHD also comes with increased emotional instability which just exacerbates all the points you've described.
There's probably a lot of gains in just encouraging researchers to get tested/diagnosed/medicated and teaching healthier work habits and emotional coping strategies.
