Why Do I Get MY Best Ideas In The Middle Of The Dang Night?

The best way to dealis just finish up then sleep. Yu won't be able to rest with those ideas rushing through your head anyways.

Sometimes I do get my best idea's in bed....and I either write them down or get up and just do it. I have several ideas that I did get while in bed and got up first thing in the morning and did them....but the ideas sometimes do cause sleeplessness.

It sounds to me like being tired or lack of sleep loosens up your creative abilities. For me it is the opposite. I have too many things that take me away from what I am trying to do and that just ruins the process for me. Since you can sleep when you get around to it, this sounds like it works really well for you.

Sounds like the norm around here! I can be out all evening, come home to the computer and be busy for hours and not get to bed until long after I should. I generally remind myself when I have to get up in the morning........or later in the morning, as it were, and that takes me to bed. Sometimes I lay in bed with the mind still going, but try to disassociate with it so I can get some sleep.

Getting over excited will surely make going to sleep close to impossible. I have another thing happen to me, in the sense that I get good ideas when in bed, just before falling asleep, which I suppose is as a result that I have all my concentration available for use during this time, but it is a bit annoying as If I don't get up to write it down, I usually forget them.

I appreciate your patience and firmness to reach your goal. Without these virtue none can achieve success. But you have to take some rest.

simple answer-because it's annoying,and the brain is evil. i was like that the other day-the ideas kept coming,next thing i know it's 6:30 am.. as far as tearing myself away-usually by 6:30,lil mouths are hungry and will remind me as such with a very annoyed meow..

If it I really could not make something right away, I do jot down all the ideas I get on my notebook and try ton work on it first thing in the morning.

It's amazing to know how creative you are and it's even wonderful that you are able to drive your creativity in the right direction. Late night and early morning are the best times when our mind and the surroundings are both peaceful and also we don't have any other work engagements like daytime. You are doing exceedingly brilliant work, but always remember that our body also needs our attention and care. It is very important to get a sound sleep of 6-7 hours daily. You need to control your work momentum as you wouldn't be able to retain it for a long time without proper rest. Do take some sleep, eat nutritious food, and go for a small walk and you'll feel the work momentum coming in control. I have experienced this many times, but I just tell to myself this is not the last day of my life. I have another day and I can do this work tomorrow. For now, I need to wind up my day and take some rest for a fresh start tomorrow. This is how I discipline my work stimulation and control my working momentum.

Because the nights are more quit, there are less people who can disturb you plus at daytime you probably are way too busy to think out something good. Personally I dont see it as a problem. I like the nights and the dark.

Yeah, I also experience that sometimes. Like now, lol. Before, I can just post a comment for a minimum of five but as I assess myself right now, I almost answered more than 30 started discussions lol knowing that I already worked for almost nine hours for my regular work. I just feel hungry but I can still handle it and can comment more.What the energy!!!

Yes it happens sometime too me also when i am very busy sometimes, at that time i never feel that its the time of sleep and i should go on bed.First i just finish my work and then i think about sleep. But i would suggest you to take proper sleep but less sleep is not good for our health and we should sleep enough everyday..

humm..im also like you..when i have to do some creative work and mind refuses me to do so then i cant even go to sleep,untill i finish my job...why this happen to us,why specially a creative person can do beeter work in night,because simply we know in the morning there are a lot of noise and people to disturb us and in the night it is quite so ideas comes like a croud,it becomes very difficul for me to choose the right idea and i think it is also a great problem in itself..it is imposible to go to sleep with this problem even i fall a sleep for sometime, i dream these ideas are following me..kindly anybudy let me know how can i choose the right idea..

I just get too tired to be productive. that doesn't mean I can relax and fall asleep though

I think most probably you can put a small notebook near your bed and write down the ideas that you get at night. I am not sure why you get ideas at the middle of night than during the day time. I hope you get good sleep.

You should have lived with my daughter. She would get her ideas in dreams and just random thoughts, then when she went to write them down they were gone. It would drive her crazy and sometimes she would just throw a fit. Other times she would start writing then skip all over the place on the story she was writing. We would read what she wrote and she would go from the very beginning of the story to like five days later to the end in three pages. She's a great writer when she puts her mind to it but her thoughts get jumbled at times or she looses them and it upsets her greatly. She still does it now.

Well , i guess in the silent of the night , where there is not much distraction and the air is fresher where the light is dimmer , and when the fresh batch of human hormone flushing into the system. Therefore the last mile refresh the mind. But beware the after the last mile , the body may clash into deep sleep or headache.Burning the midnight oil for too long is not good , it can overheat the body.

I do the same, have for many years. Guess its why I have a tablet on the table next to the bed. To write those great ideas down..
