Noticed a real shift after I started a firm 5pm laptop shutdown rule

Before, I was always 'just checking' emails until bed, but after three weeks of a hard stop, my sleep is way better and my mornings feel clearer. Anyone else set a strict end time for their work day?

My best ideas always hit me after 8pm though.

Read somewhere that our brains are less filtered at night (makes sense, right?). That's probably why the good stuff comes out then.

Yeah, something about the prefrontal cortex clocking out.

The whole "unfiltered brain at night" thing sounds like a good excuse to stay up late scrolling your phone. Daytime is when you actually have the energy and focus to do something with those ideas.
