Does sleeping help when you seem unable to solve a problem at some point? Well I don't know about you, but I feel it helped me today.

For many months now, I have been producing my own electricity using the small guy below. But something happened yesterday that I felt very helpless with.

I was out yesterday to meet some people that were interested in learning about what I do online, as well as to go cut my hair. I had scheduled going to the market to get some groceries for the weekend, but due to the meeting lasting longer than I expected, I had to come home a bit late from the market.

After I settled down to cook, I realized I couldn't finish the cooking before it gets dark so I had to switch on the generator above. About 10minutes after I switched on the generator, it went off without any sign.

I continued my cooking with a rechargeable torchlight and later went to check on the Generator. After several efforts of restarting it, I realized that I had to accept its unyielding attitude and go sleep without much charge on my phone.

In the morning I woke up and went to troubleshoot the generator again. I cleaned the plug and did a little physical check on the generator.

After which I tried starting it but had another set of what I experienced in the night. Out of frustration, I went to sleep. After sleeping for some time and waiting for the technician I had called earlier, I decided to go check out other parts on the generator.

While examining the generator, I found out that the CDI had one head unplugged on it, I simply gave a sigh of relief, plugged back the head, and in one touch the generator gave out a cry of joy 😂.

I was so thrilled that I had to share the lessons I learned from the experience. It took me a sleep out of frustration to realize that I hadn't checked every where. And that can be applied in our lives sometimes.

We need to sleep over some problems to have a clearer mind to think straight, thus the quote "Let's sleep over it" can be helpful sometimes.

STAY TUNED TO, @emjoe
