[Silly] The philosopher's high

Alright, this is somewhat ridiculous, but hear me out :

Apparently, runners get a feeling of euphoria while undergoing the physical effort that comes from running. Well, I find an analogous excitation whenever I understand a philosophical text, or when I'm battling with a demonstration, or whatever intellectual process I'm faced with.

During exams, for example, if I have to unknot a complex text, the more I'll write, the more I'll understand, and the more I'll understand, the more I'll write. This leads me to a strangely exciting slippery slope that gets me so hyped my handwriting becomes unreadable, and that I have to stop and breathe deeply for a while. My heartbeat even goes up, and my hands get sweaty !

The same goes for essays and dissertations : one discovery leads to another, one aspect to another, and soon I'm all fidgety.

When reading a text, whenever I begin to understand, I have to drop the book and jog around my room frantically, making silly hand gestures and thinking to myself "Of course, that makes total sense !", and I have to scribble whatever on my white board to summarize what I just extracted. This leads to my housemates and friends thinking I am some kind of absolute madman.

I'm here to ask if you guys get the same kind of euphoria from time to time, or if that is an uncommon and weird thing for one to be struck with. Lately it has become even more of a problem, as all the ends of my works are rushed and unreadable, and I systematically have to go through them a second time !

Definitely not just you. Making a really killer argument or figuring out a really clever way to present some complicated idea is a hell of a drug. Having to go back through your work and revise it for clarity isn't really a problem, since it's something you should do anyway. As Ernest Hemingway said, "Write drunk. Revise sober."
