Anybody have those code dreams?
Those are worse than no sleep. You sleep all night feeling like you're struggling with this mammoth problem or even worse having a breakthrough in the problem, then wake up feeling tired and can't remember whether your revelations were real or figments of your imagination.
Anyway, I used to have those a lot in school, when I was working towards more solid deadlines and literally fell asleep coding. They've happened once or twice since I've been out and working and I've learned that it's better to put the problem down and walk away than to spend my free time or sleep time trying to solve it. That's only going to lead to an unproductive day the next day, when I actually have my tools in front of me.
Occasionally, I'll be watching TV after work and the solution just pops into my head. A relaxed mind is a creative mind. Even then I won't pursue it, just make a note to investigate tomorrow.
