I use my cell phone all the time for this. Just make a note or text message and save as a draft. It makes me think of the Seinfeld episode where he jots something down but can't read his handwriting. Seinfeld has touched on almost every life situation it seems lol

What's wrong with fuzzy marshmallows and adsense? That is a very sensible business model.

@Barnabus: haha yeah... waking up and reading 'Monkey... Millions' or something could be very frustrating... but its very hard at 5am to aim at the toilet let alone write coherently!!!

Be sure to make it clear enough to understand what you idea meant. I've written things down at night before and next morning when I read it, it made no sense whatsoever. (Fuzzy marshmallows and adsense?) LOL

Nice idea, but I have a problem finding the pen and paper when just awaking from my usual stupor!

This is very true! I do get ideas at night as well...pen and paper should always be around or at least a google doc that you can add ideas too. I get a lot of my "ideas" while on vacation as well when I am completely removed from the day to day tasks. The mind works in very strange ways and everyones works differently. If you can tap into your own creative genius, you will do very well in life! ;)

I did actually remember... it was not a million $ idea though :( I have written is down now... so I will put it on here soon.

It's true Pobman (got your name right this time hah!), some of the best ideas happen in the middle of the night. Messages pop up in your dreams too. You know how we forget dreams if we don't make note of them. Waiting to hear that $million idea. Thank you for sharing it.

@Labman: More likely that will end in sleep :)

Meditation may retrieve that for you.
