I hope this isn't too off-topic, but do you ever dream about work? It's been happening more lately, and it doesn't exactly make for restful sleep. They're not even fun or bizarre ones, just mundane work stuff...

Yes. Usually occurs when I have a complex matter to resolve and have been rehearsing the fact pattern in my mind throughout the day. Also generally I am able to resolve said matter as I usually dream about the solution or potential next steps that lead to resolution. I’ve learned to keep pen & paper nearby to jot down notes when I wake up. Thankfully I haven’t had any dreams about work for the last few months.

I lost too many solutions and so just learned to go with it when the dreams keep coming. 🤣😂😆 I don’t recommend dreaming about work but don’t waste those solutions when they do come….

That’s common. But you’ll get used to it and it disappears

I’ve worked through legitimate issues/workpapers to where I could argue my sleep was billable

I have a recurring dream that I am working at McDonald’s and we are out of egg McMuffins. The stress. Haha. That was over 35 years ago at least and it’s still my nightmare 😝

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago.
