OUT OF SIGHT - OUT OF MIND - TOO MUCH TIME - MIND AND SIGHT

I've heard from a few people who have said that, when one writes first thing in the morning, the revealing power of the pen and paper unleashes thoughts, ideas, memories, and et cetera that would, during other times of the day not be as easily accessible for retrieval - that is, from the deepest, and mystical, yet inquisitive depths of one's inner mind. Because one is as close to a dream while awake state as one can possibly be. And from these written revelations one carries on for the rest of their day, a greater sense of possibility for the spurring of originality and creativity - than if one were to just wake up, get out of bed, and drag a comb across their head. However true this may be, I believe that there are other 'out of your head' moments that occur for other non-morning reasons, that can be utilized for profound understanding. For instance, if one does not sleep at all for at least one full night (this can happen for a number of different reasons) and attempts to act normally and interact with other people during the next day as if one got a solid 8 1/2 hours of z's - then one will say, think and respond to things in a wittier (no matter how witty you are to start with), possibly sarcastic, but probably more perceptive manner. It's as if because your brain hasn't shut off in 26 straight hours that it's impossible to stop thinking now - because you're awake, when you're supposed to be, but don't want to be, but are. A perverse, but illuminating 'brain rape' - if you will. You're mind has been racing and battling for so long, that you can't help but dissect and examine even the most minute of details, coming up with answers that make so much sense that nobody understands what you're talking about - let alone you. You say words and form sentences you didn't think you were capable of. Sophisticated rhyming couplets fall from your mouth like a shooting star tongue twists across the night's glowing face. This can also happen when you're intoxicated (unless you're a stumbling, mumbling or angry intoxicateur. This can also happen when you're scared. (though this 'out of one's mind' situation may be controlled more by irrationality than induced intuitiveness). And this can also happen when your sick in bed, and your body's aching bad, but your head is full of meds, and your feeling sorta sad, then you start thinking hard, cause you're really kind of bored, but you can't read a book, cause your headache really hurts, so you keep thinking hard, til you active brain waves tire.
