You need to be bored AND energetic (or at least lucid) to engage in creativity. Adults give most of their energy to their employers, hence it's no wonder that, in the downtime, little creativity happens. More than one famous author mentioned that during their periods of full-time employment they had no ideas or motivation, they were just barren.
