I fixed the same bug all night in my dreams. Nothing was committed.

Woke up tired like I'd worked a full shift. Same bug, looping, my brain solving it ten slightly different wrong ways until morning. Git log empty. Nothing real happened.
Part of me took it as proof I care about what I'm building. The other part knows a brain that won't clock out isn't a flex, it's a leak.
Do you get this one? And if you do, what actually makes it stop?

Relate to this hard, mine's usually 'did I actually follow up with that lead' on a loop. What's helped is offloading the noticing part entirely, if something tells me clearly what still needs doing, my brain stops rehearsing it at 3am.
