Late night internet searches

I don't know if this is a common thing, but I usually find that my brain is annoying active when I'm trying to get to sleep. For the whole of the day I may make one remark that is worthy of being heard, if I'm lucky it might even make sense. But, in that moment of wanting to give up and try again tomorrow by brain decides that it wants to think, now.

I work on a laptop so it's almost always close to hand. If not I have plenty of scraps of paper to write down my  madcap theories, but the internet provides access to a thought process that doesn't require much thought. I think of a question, usually Google has an answer, or at least a distraction.

So for the most part my internet history is pretty uninteresting. A quick search for info on a game I want to play, or a book I'm keen on reading. Pictures of cute boys with cats, or my shortcuts to various flash games. It's all pretty standard. Except for the times I look up practical spaceship design, or reference pictures for old WWI bombers, or the anatomy of a triceratops.

Is this something else that people do?
