How do you come up with great ideas?

I get ideas right as I'm about to fall asleep. I normally remember them, but I tend to realize that they are either a terrible idea or that I wouldn't be able to pull them off
 
I try my best to expose myself to as much inspirational sources as possible. For me that means reading self development books and watching videos everyday. That I believe stimulates those ideas when you are all by your lonesome :)
 
Me and my buddy exchange some ideas for a premise, we agree on one then I buggar off to my desk. I sit and stare at a blank microsoft word page, coffee in hand and think "Okay, next video" (by the way if you've seen our videos you can see the amount of effort that goes into them). And I then I just start writing because I have to. If I get stiffled I go and do something else for a little while and return.

The blank page is the absolute worst.

I get all my good ideas when I'm babbling nonsense at my roommates, usually while lying on the living room floor and eating peanut butter straight out of the jar. And then I'll just randomly be like, "I should get absolutely faded on several kinds of alcohol and try to interpret Japanese kanji," and then a couple weeks later it was uploaded to my channel.
 
I hate it thought when one of your friends watches your videos and they're like "oh do you know what you should do next?" and you expect some golden nugget to fire from their flappy mouth...and then they offer some bloody awful idea and you just smile half heartidly "yeeeeah, sounds good...is that my mum calling me? got to go bye!"
 
I really dont know... For me it is something like this: "Hmm I am hungry ... also I should listen to some music ... where is my phone ... OH MY GOD I HAVE AN IDEA!" - most of my "great" ideas (good or bad) were just random pop-ups in my brain :)
