Idle problem solving

I have this habit problem thing where I solve programming problems while my brain is completely idle or not thinking about the problem (that I know of), and I have even done this in my sleep.  I have (apparently) woken up, texted myself the correct solution (with correct syntax, logic, etc) to some problem I couldn’t figure out while I was madly trying to work out a solution.  And yes, it worked.  It’s sort of neat, but I wonder how much this burns my unconscious brain time.  Is this bad, unhealthy?  I don’t even realize that it must be churning over these things,.  Interesting.

The only thing I had to fix was create a blank constructor for my date class:

Date::Date(){}

I figured this out while I was walking out of class to the Students Center.  It’s useful, anyway, whatever it is.
