Get into bed.

Gets all comfy.

About to drift off.

Realizes solution for the problem I have spent all week on.

Now wide awake.

Guess who's not sleeping tonight!

*sniff sniff* the times ive been through this I even.decided to keep a notebook by my side so that i could write all the craxy stuff that came to my head

It gets better!

...
Now wide awake

Don't remember what the solution was

Repeat

That's because the brain is the most creative when you're relaxed. Things like Having a shower or going to sleep are the best things to get creative ideas

And taking a dump... :))

Tell yourself that you are gonna remember it next morning...

But something keeps telling you to get up and jot it down...

Too lazy to get up but too scared to let go the idea...

Goddamit, so fucking relatable...

*solution doesn't work*
*screams*

@fatihcoskuny I came here to write that 🤔

@ng1905
Breaks loop by remembering

Solution is wrong...

The phone voice recorder comes in handy in these moments

Happens to me every single time... Though I just write down the pseudocode... actually implementation it realizing it's wrong can wait till tmr.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for technical interviews.... I have one coming up...

@balaianu Been there, done that

Take your "about to drift off" outta here. Some of us actually have grade A major insomnia :)

Gets up, codes the solution.

4 hours pass, and you're stuck with the original solution.

Solution was incomplete.
