I'll agree with this for general coding.. I've never used any defined/formal approach to coding things (not even bottom-up/top-down, more like from all sides :) - But as you say, going to bed (or just leaving the computer for a while), with a current task in mind keeps the brain churning over, and producing solutions.. And gives you something to get going on the next day. And I dont lose sleep over it (or other coding problems, for that matter, the best solution is usually to leave it for a while..)

(Will admit to starting off my day with an hour or so of catching up on websites, groups etc, but thats all in the way of keeping up with the technical world etc, honest! ;)
