That explains why the best ideas I've ever had are being awakened from sleep by a particularly vivid "dream" to which I've thought - perfect, explains all, remember tomorrow.
Gone back to sleep to wake up next morning thinking - ok, yup, had brainwave, what was it I had to remember?....
grrrr the day I sleep with a pad and pencil beside the bed is the day the missus throws me out to sleep in the office.
Bleh, could involve more productivity... always a good thing right?
