I think this is fairly normal for anything creative. During this downtime your brain plays around and that is often when the ideas come out. I frequently get these sparks when you're in the shower or on the toilet, your brain is free to explore. It's different if you're just processing though, there is no creativity required to check a pile of 500 invoices; you just need to get on and plough though.
