Maybe this is reflective of how much of who-knows-what neuro-transmitter is
available.  Does sleep allow for the replentishment of neuro-transmitters?
Maybe we have all the information we need to come to a solution but don't have
the gas to put it together and present it to ourselves.  After sleep we have
the juice--all the pieces are there and kerplunk, it fits together. 
Sorry about the slang and mixed-metaphors...its just the way it came out.
