Many times, I have been stuck on a programming problem at the end of the day. Many times, I come in and solve it immediately first thing in the morning. This leads me to believe I think more clearly in the mornings. Anyone else have this happen?

Or, perhaps your brain is unconsciously working on the problem overnight and the solution is presented to your conscious self the next morning.

I used to try to reach a "clean" stopping point before quitting work for the day, until I was advised that going home with problems outstanding can have benefits. It does seem that even if I'm not actively thinking about such a problem, I will have fresh perspectives the next morning.

or you solved it at night and only remembered the solution in the morning
