It happens to all of us occasionally. You experience a sleepless night due to work or play, and the next day… You find yourself in a meeting, reaching for an answer to a question from your supervisor that you failed to hear because you had momentarily zoned out just as she asked it. Or you’re driving home from work and realize that the exit you were supposed to take from the highway is 30 seconds behind you. Or you’re watching a whodunnit on Netflix, and when the detective ties the killer to the knockout piece of evidence introduced halfway through the movie, you have absolutely no recollection of having ever laid eyes on it before.
