Why is it I always have the most inspiring thoughts at night, just after I've turned off the light (and shut down my computer). And then the next day my mind is blank, and I have absolutely no idea what that brilliant thought was last night. But I can remember my slightly disturbing dream that makes me worry just a little bit more about myself. Perhaps it came from the empty stomach I had? Either that or it was too much twitter yesterday.

Is it possible to have too much twitter?

I think anyone who writes or does creative things finds this. I've tried putting notepad and pen by the bed so that the instant you turn out the light you can turn it on again to jot down that deep and meaningful thought. Problem is how to tell the good thoughts from the bad; I jotted them all down and after a week realised that I had not had one decent night's sleep!

Sometimes too, thoughts that seem brilliant at 4 am, if remebered, seem a bit crap in the light of day :-(

Keep a notebook and pen next to your bed. Sometimes they are brilliant, but if you don't write it down you'll never know..

Yes, that's true - all the best thoughts that occur in the middle of the night tend to be the ones that get forgotten.
