I often attempt the puzzles in the middle of the night, due to regular bouts of insomnia. I feel if I can solve Connections in the middle of the night then it was a fairly easy puzzle that day. I use Jerry's guideline that if I have two incorrect attempts then I put the puzzle to bed for later in the day, then I shut my light off and try to get more sleep myself.
