Do you ever have very profound and insightful thoughts? Do you ever have them in those seven to nine minutes between snooze alarms? That seems to be when I have a lot of really great ideas or really ingenious realizations or intuitive discoveries, but just as soon as the snooze alarm goes off, they’re gone. I have all sorts of brainstorms when I go to bed too. My brain just won’t shut up, and I’m annoyed that I’m not sleeping, but I continue to think anyway, and just when I get to some brilliant deduction or fixate upon some clever creation, I conk out and lose whatever it was I was thinking about. I never rememeber these things in the morning or once the alarm goes off. It’s sad, really. I mean, if you think about it, lots of people have moments like this, right? What if you could take all those perceptive tidbits and put them together, put them into action? Would it cure a disease? Stop world hunger? End a war? It’s fascinating to think about, really. I’m even more fascinated that I’m thinking this much about it and am still awake. I need a nap. I’m exhausted. Maybe I’ll bring a notepad and pen to bed with me…so long as the pen has a cap so I don’t write on my face in my sleep.
