That you have to be in the shower or something to have an idea is probably indication that in the lab you are doing it wrong. Maybe there is a good manual on how to think productively? It'd be a right topic for a post.
I think this might be about right. I rarely have interesting insights while doing other things, but there was this one time where I was trying to fall asleep and suddenly figured out what the bug was in the code I had been working on a couple hours before. I had it down to the exact line that was wrong. But that's very much the exception for me. I'd be interested in such a post.
