According to this it's when you're sleepy. A cloudy brain makes it easier to connect ideas that would've been separated by analytical walls otherwise. And then when you're more awake, you can assess whether it's insight or insane.
Any truth to this in your personal experience?
For me, the one benefit of insomnia is the rush of ideas that occasionally comes with it.
Or maybe it's the rush of ideas that's keeping me awake.
In either case, I'd still rather sleep.
Sometimes.
I believe it. Especially at that point where you're so tired where you don't know if you're nodding off or not. Logic, linear thinking and any sort of common sense go right out the window!

Aha! Is that why you go to work sleepy?
