I'm sure this is no surprise to you - it wasn't for me. Think about it. Don't you find that you solve problems best when you are out for a walk, in bed, in the shower, or just relaxing on the couch? I know I do. There is definitely merit to the idea of keeping a pen and pad of paper beside your bed!
