Incognito

The Economist reports "Evidence mounts that brains decide before their owners know about it." What the article reinforces for me is what I've heard a handful of writers say, that they write while they sleep. Many of them wake up in the middle of the night with the solution to their problem or when they first wake up the writing flows. I've begun to do that now. I didn't in the beginning when I wrote but here lately I've figured out that if I worry a problem right before I go to bed, when I wake up I often have the solution. There is a downside (isn't there always?) I sometimes wake up at 1 or 2 in the morning clearly upset that I haven't figured out the problem. It's as if there was no wake up time. I was asleep and I'm awake thinking of the problem and then finally I'm aware that I'm awake instead of sleeping.

This might explain why I feel a powerful desire to nap during the day.

It's a good thing there is a bed in the office.
