It happened to me often that I found solutions to programming problems when dreaming or just dozing. I don't really think that this is such an uncommon thing to happen. Indeed I also believe that a lot of work is done by our brain when we are not conscious. Sleep deprivation experiments have shown that we need sleep in order to function properly, albeit some need more than others, and it is not only about giving the body a rest, but also sorting things out in our mind. Lets call it post-processing and a little garbage collection. Big Grin | :-D

Cheers!

And now back to work sleep! Poke tongue | ;-P
