Yes, DD, I agree. Mermy, we need help.
Although I'll have to say that Big D's most brilliant ideas and resulting patents or business models or engineering innovations have come from a cluttered mind which results in a sleepless night. Invariably when that happens, he has an Aha! moment in the middle of the night, gets up, documents his ideas, and then sleeps soundly.
Same for me. My mind is so cluttered that if I didn't put reminders in Outlook, I couldn't function. Also when I've thought of a new and creative project for one of my classes, I of course want to get my solution working before I assign it. Sometimes I have bugs in my code. Even with sleeping pills I can't sleep. Then the solution just comes to me in the night. I run downstairs, change the code, and most of the time it works. If it doesn't, it's a totally sleepless night.
