"The night brings good counsel" (La nuit porte conseil) — the late Hwang Hyun-san rendered this French proverb beautifully as "the night is the teacher." The idea being that no matter how difficult the problem, sleep on it and a good solution will come to you. And it's true — a problem that seemed impossibly tangled and unsolvable can suddenly become clear once you step away, clear your head, and look at it again. But remarkably, a single night doesn't just solve problems — it can make breakfast all on its own.
