Tell this to your employer, and get yourself a nice bed and pillows at work, so that you can sleep. Apparently, the more you sleep the more productive you are :-D Btw this theory is so true, I have got solutions to so many problems in my dreams and they turn out to be precise. Something to do with sub-conscious mind or the kind, which works out the problem for you (Read it somewhere a while ago..)

Within limits - if you sleep 23.9 hours a day you won't get much done at work!

It was 7:44 AM, my eyes roared as a slit of light hit them, beaming from the only visible thing in that direction, the alarm clock. "Another 16 full minutes of sleep" said a small voice in my head. Turned out that those 16 minutes, would enlighten me, and the proceeding day, to a whole new level. It wasn't 1 minute past, when my eyes started to move, rapidly. In my dream, there were no characters, no people, no houses or trees, but a thing most familiar to me, my code. Franticly scrolling before my eyes, was the code of a project I was working on, a project that I was about to present in a mere 1 hour and 45 minutes. Suddenly the scrolling stopped. A breakpoint was added and after a swift compilation and execution.. i saw it. Thanks to my dream, I corrected a grave mistake that I would not have spotted otherwise. And a whole new to me, debugging in my sleep.

was when the day before the exam I was dreaming about the COBOL code I had to write the following day. I had that nightmare twice, both times I past the exam and after graduation I never wrote a single letter of COBOL anymore...
V. I found a living worth working for, but haven't found work worth living for.

Hmm, I'm trying to loose that feature from my brain as it sometimes kept me from sleeping well. Also this feature was getting worse and worse during a project. Luckely it's going better the last few weeks as there's not a lot I need to take care of. Gotta love teammates and a separate QA team :D

I suspect many of us have done this, certainly I have.

Hey, speak for yourself. One of the benefits of contracting is working your own hours. And procrastination can be your friend at times. Nothing like getting pro-active and finishing something early to learn its been canned.
This statement was never false.

The one part of software engineering that gets annoying is once I get into a project, my mind is constantly designing, debugging, etc.. I've solved many a problem in my sleep or doing some entirely unrelated activity. Having said that, a few years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with the perfect solution to a problem I was wresting with. The next day, I quickly started implementing this brilliant idea. It soon became apparent that it was actually one of the dumbest ideas ever; not only didn't it solve the problem, it did so in a very complicated way and would have introduced even more problems.
