My brain never switches off, and I often get insomnia when an idea pops into my head at 2AM. Is it just me?
12:20am - Ok, I've finished catching up on twitter, /r/sideproject and indiehackers... time to sleep.
-- TOSSING AND TURNING --
12:45am - Seriously brain, sleepy time
12:53am - Ok brain, you can have 7 minutes, but at 1am its time to switch off
-- BRAIN STORMING --
1:01am - Fine, I'll give it until 1:05am
2:00am - Right, enough is enough...
-- FLIP PILLOW TO THE COOLER SIDE --
annnnnnnnnnd sle... ooo an idea!
It could do this, and look like this, and this will be the icon, and this is my target market etc etc
-- INSOMNIA COMMENCES --
6:00am - Damn

Just me? :)
Tip: write it down - than its out of your head. And evaluate in the morning - thats what i do - helps to sleep well :)
I have this problem as well. I would be building something and really enjoying it. It's usually already late by the time I decide to force myself to stop and goto bed. And then once I'm lying there, all kinds of ideas start to flood my brain. "Ooh i could add that", "ooh that would be cool", etc. And before i know it, it's 2am🤦♂️
Ooo you might be onto something there... perhaps I should try stopping work earlier.
I also had a similar problem. Actually, I tried to fight insomnia for a long time, but then I gave up and started taking medication which was recommended to me by a consultant at the Canadian Pharmacy(https://www.canadapharmacy.com/). And I thank God that my stubbornness did not give me the strength to continue to fight this, because It made my life better
This used to happen me a lot(to the point where I was getting severely sleep deprived). Not nice.
A couple of things that have really helped me:
It's your fortune that got a great idea at 2AM. If you alway got some dull idea, I recommand you for meditation. 😂
Definitely not. Not necessarily app specific, though my current project is an app. I often hash out business ideas at the most inconvenient times, especially when trying to sleep. The worst is when you work through the idea then determine why it likely won't work, and you've already wasted 2 hours of sleep time haha
Yeah that's deffo annoying. Also annoying when you've think you've found the one idea that's gonna he "the one" only to find in the morning when you google that it's been done better a million times before!
haha! yes!
No. I have the same unless I stop at 10:30pm MAX
I know, it's a nightmare right? Or at least, it would be if I could actually sleep 🤣
