I'm not so sure about that. Thinking about work before going to sleep is also a pretty good way to make it hard to fall asleep, especially if it's something stressful. And lack of sleep is my #1 cause of loss of work efficiency.
- MichaelGG 16y agoExactly. I only fall asleep thinking about a problem if it's something that is "hard". For instance, coming up with an algorithm I haven't been able to get quite right during the day. If I do that, I usually don't sleep very well. My dreams are filled with odd representations of the problem (once, an old man yelling various time complexities at me). When I do wake up, I often have a good fresh new idea to try out. But, it's taxing. Nothing good has come of sleeping on a stressful problem, or common work where I know more or less what to do.
