   Does anyone else get "creative hangovers?"

   The next day after a surge of creativity (such as recording a song) I am emotionally drained and lethargic.

     @killyourfm 100%. I can feel hungover.

     @mdj I've never understood this, but it happens frequently enough that it's not my imagination or typical weariness.

     It's like the brain just gets overworked and then wants to shut down. (Also, probably a natural low from not having all those endorphins)

     @killyourfm I’ve definitely noticed post project comedowns over the years. It can seem like an age to feel productive again afterwards.

     @slembcke I’m stunned at how many other people experience the same thing. That’s not how our brains should work. Let us be creative 24/7 ?

     @killyourfm Yup, all the time. When I figure out the solution to a problem, I usually feel compelled to follow all the way through. Hard to focus the next day after such a burst of productivity.
