Make sure you're not taking any medication which effects your problem solving skills. Nothing is without suspicion, even things you take for granted. Sometimes medication of all kinds, particularly those that effect your hormone system, has unlisted side effects.

Another silent killer is poor air quality. Make sure you're getting lots of fresh air each day.

Obviously eating well & exercising helps as well.

Beyond that, simply taking a break may help.

I see. No I don't take any medication of any kind. Haven't taken any medication of any sort in the last 5 years, no pain killers, no coffee nothing. Strange now that I think about it. Must be bunch of other stuff like you mentioned. Thanks for the reply
