Creativity and Sleep - Anyone notice that they are more creative when they get a good night's sleep?

I don't know. I suppose it depends on the type of medium you are working with. With writing, I find less sleep is better during the plot formation. Things become unreal and distorted, and as any Stephen King fan would agree, this makes for better reading. Creative editing, however, is best done on a good night's rest.
