Ideas In Bed

[fuzzlepop]

Anyone else get most their ideas in bed while trying to sleep? Lately I've just been coming up with 100s of ideas while trying to sleep, do you ignore these ideas and hope to remember them in the morning or do you jump out of bed and write them down?

lol misleading title...

You're at your most relaxed state when you're about to go to sleep, so your mind's probably opened up to all these creative ideas hidden in your subsconscious.

I've started staying up every night and sleeping during the day (or not sleeping at all). I find I'm at my best around 2-4 am.

Oddly enough, sleep deprivation does wonders for creativity, especially if combined with a megadose of caffeine and some nootropics.

Wow.. from the title of this thread, I thought this thread would be about something else :D

Yes... the shower might have something to do with being in your most natural state of being.

Yes the natural aspect and perhaps the water adds to the natural creative effect

I agree that the some incredible thinking/brainstorming can be done in this manner - in the wee hours of the morning. It is as if the barriers to the infinite - to pure consciousness - are thin, clear and easier to reach. I have much experience being awake at these times and it seems to really be conducive to clear and creative thinking...

Although right now I am old people schedule and waking up early in bed early. And you know what ? I am just not as creative at 8 or 9 or 10 PM at night, but at least I am getting more done in the daytime (More bump n grind, redundant, cutting and pasting, emailing end users, returning emails, etc...)

True,

But for some reason, like Reece - I experience better results and clarity in the early AM - something that just doesn't happen for me the same way late in the PM.

Really true, this happens also when listening to music.
