I get my inspirations at 2 times.
Driving home from work after a day of frustration, it will all of a sudden come to me (the ol' lightbulb flashes on) of what I had overlooked.
The other time is about 2 or 3 AM when I am trying to get back to sleep and I have this flash of insight. What I should do is have a music pad and pencil at the bedstand, because, by morning, I have forgotten what it was ;-)
If I got paid for my inspiration, I probably would have that pad there.
