Pretty much what the title says. Also, how long does it usually last for when it happens?

It depends on how interested I am or can successfully convince myself to be in any given thing (if that makes sense). If it happens when working on a computer, I always feel like shit once it stops for some reason; almost completely worn-out. The hyperfocus can last for anywhere from 45 minutes to 10 hours, depending on how long I can go without an abrupt distraction/intervention. It's a blessed curse or a cursed blessing.
