Wow, very interesting post.
It is interesting that interdisciplinary chemistry and physics tend to have the largest amount of sleeping beauties. Like you pointed out, it may be because due to their interdisciplinary quality.
Also, maybe because these disciplines are the most popular so have the largest numbers of scientists contributing to the research, which makes a lot os studies to be missed or forgotten?
But this is just my guess. We would need statistical data for this to verify :-)

Yea, there is a group of researchers just doing citation dynamics with data and stuff. Very interesting!
