I'm like this, to the point that I actively harness it: whenever I have some bigger problem to work on I read it and just not work on it for the rest of the day. In the morning I just know I'll have a much better understanding of it somehow.
The morning always brings answers no matter how complex something seems. I find it extremely relaxing, just being aware that if something is frustrating I can just drop it for the day and tomorrow I'll know what to do.
Sleeping me is a damn fine mate to have covering my back.
- chubot 10y agoYeah I purposely load up problems in my head before going to bed... then when I wake up, they're magically solved without any effort. It also has the benefit of being a natural alarm clock: sometimes I have to get out of bed and type the solution in and then go back to sleep. Paul Graham has an essay "the top idea in your mind" where he talks about what you think about in the shower: http://www.paulgraham.com/top.html http://www.paulgraham.com/top.html It's pretty much the same idea... what you go to bed thinking about is probably the same thing you think about in the shower in the morning. For me the solution comes WHILE sleeping; I don't have to wait to get up and think about it.
