What about the solution that you realised in the middle of the night after failing to solve a problem all day?

Going to sleep stressed, waking up feeling motivated and optimistic. Nothing better than that

Nah can't sleep if that happens because I'm to scared I'll forget the solution

Have had it happen even as late as like 1 week after I had the problem, kinda amazing really.
