File this under "small wins". I had been banging my head against a technical problem for most of the day yesterday. As I slipped into bed around midnight, I suddenly knew the solution. Despite the call of the pillows, I dragged myself out of bed, down to the laptop and took a full 30 seconds to write it down -- and thank goodness, because by this morning I had forgotten about it again!

Nice win :)

Back in college this kinda thing would happen to me a bunch. The fear of forgetting would stress me out so much I'd lose sleep and compound the whole mess of problems. Ended up keeping a notepad by my bed to scribble my thoughts onto so I could give my poor brain a break for sleep.
