Ever had those moments where you've been pondering a problem for ages, trying to make a decision or come up with a new idea, and then the second you get up to make a cup of tea, call a friend to talk it through, or simply decide 'sleep on it', you suddenly find the answers you're looking for, the solutions are obvious, and the new ideas just won't stop coming?
