TreeSeeker - yell "Bingo!" You're ahead of me.
Thank you for confirming what I said, especially in terms of computer programming.
The worst case I know of is a civilian programmer I worked with in the Air Force in the mid- to late-seventies. He'd been struggling with a difficult software development problem for several weeks. One night, as he was 'getting busy with his wife,' the solution hit him. He rolled off, turned on the light, wrote several pages of notes/code, turned off the light, and tried to resume where he'd left off.
He was so relieved to find a solution it took him several days (and explanations from his coworkers) to understand why his wife told him exactly what he could do with his computer.
(Yes, computer programmers are weird creatures ... that's why I call everyone else 'real people.')
TreeSeeker - please, please describe what you're doing in this thread ... and the ultimate solution ... so other people can learn from your experiences.
