I "sleep solve" all the time. I do wish i could turn it off sometimes though (like now, where i woke up at 0230, and while tryin to go back to sleep, was still tryin to solve various logic shit for no reason); its now 0540 and im just up at this point. I do hate that sleep is the only answer to a hard problem, because i just want to swing at it all night (and i do that too, frequently), but the sleep solve usually gives better results.
I also find myself getting drudge woes when the chunks get too big, but sometimes the chunks have to be big (or at least i think they do). I prefer to be challenged and focusing on various efforts throughout the day, and focusing on a single task for multiple days in a row just destroys motivation for me. Its hard to convey this to employers without getting my resume fired right into the trashcan. Yes, i can focus on a single task for extended periods, but i cant really do that long term. Honestly one of the reasons i liked being in the datacenter / doing hosting things, the long focused tasks were there, but there were lots of other things that could be done too; a choose your own adventure, if you will.
