Ask HN: Do other people have days in which they're dumber than usual?
I know the title sounds foolish but...I think I noticed this during undergrad, and it happens every once in a while now, years later:
most days I'm my usual self, but every now and then (maybe a day every few months?) I'm just...dumber. And I can pick up on it pretty quickly, for example when I try to think about something that's not ingrained in my routine (such as a work task), it just feels like my mind is...foggy?
And it's not food or exercise or sleep, because especially with the pandemic, my routine is the same.
Does this happen to anyone else? Google searching warranted no lead on the matter.
