I'm bad at solving problems under pressure. Especially a time based pressure. I often found solutions to problems that people seldom thought of. As much as I like calling myself a creative problem solver, in reality, ideas and new insights to a certain problem I faced often just come when I'm lazily procrastinating.

Exactly!!
I feel like ideas only come to you when you take time to walk away from the problem. So I agree with you.
I can identify with that. Unfortunately I think those kinds of interviews are an entirely separate skill from day to day coding.
