Thanks for sharing your experience :)

Now that I think about it, I believe I also had this effect that when I disconnect after a longer work period, I'll have a sort of re-processing flashback when I finally have time to relax.

Also, it's quite visible with my son. At the end of the day, before going to sleep, he will usually recount his most interesting experience again. Yesterday it was "cows are loud".

I can imagine that it'll help the learning, just like how replaying history with updated state scoring is such an important part of AI reinforcement learning. So maybe the body is post-processing work stress akin to "we successfully escaped from the hungry lion, now let's review how to avoid that in the future".
