I don't have a resting bitch face so much as a resting saggy old woman face. It's most obvious to me in the gym with its mirrors and bright lighting, so I make a point of trying to smile as I'm exercising. It probably comes over as resting complete idiot face but there you go.
The other night I woke at 1 in the morning and was trying to think of the word that can be used in place of 'find' and 'get'. I knew the word I wanted but couldn't think of it.
At 2 I woke and continued the brain search but confusion was beginning to set in. I no longer knew the word I wanted but knew I wanted it.
At 5 I woke and knew I wanted to find a word but couldn't remember the word I wanted to find.
At 7 I woke and said, "Source," but I had no idea why I wanted it.
It's no wonder I'm tired all the time.

You need an assistant with word retrieval.
I do that. Try to remember something but can't, so leave it confident that it will come later. And then later trying to remember what is was I was trying to remember.
Brains are mysterious things, mysterious things indeed.
Those awake in the middle of the night moments annoy me and like you, so does searching for a word that is hiding from me.
That kind of sounds like how my brain works.
I wish you a restful night, Liz!
Usually when I stop trying to think of something is when it pops into my brain.
Ah, but you remembered in the end. 👍
Funny that you even remembered to ponder each time. And, as Anvilcloud wrote, you remembered in the end!
I tend to lose the same word, again, so when it finally occurs to me, I add it to my Word file of "Words that escape me".
Thanks all for your comments. I see I am not the only one.
