Many lifetimes ago, before the Internet was ubiquitous, I was an aficionado of cryptic crosswords. Many evenings I would puzzle about particularly difficult clues. More times than not, the next morning the answer was glaringly obvious.

With coding there's often a tendency to keep going to solve the next problem and before you know it, the wee small hours are there.

I agree with the "Sleep More, Code More" premise. Even though you are asleep, your mind and brain keep working and when you're rested, you do look at seemingly insoluble problems with a fresh perspective.

So true! I can't count the many times I struggled in the evenings and suddenly out of nowhere, the perfect solution came up the next morning.

Thanks for sharing. :)
