4AM Miracle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A 4AM miracle is a term widely used in the development and creation industry, where a developer has a block, and cannot think of an idea, but suddenly get an idea in the early hours of the morning.

[edit] In popular culture

An episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is named after the term, in which Matt Albie (Matthew Perry) is stuck on a Wednesday night with writer's block and also has to contend with a young lawyer named Mary Tate who's investigating a sexual harassment claim while Harriet Hayes continues shooting her movie.
