ingo,
maybe you are too tired to screw yourself up. you know, at these times, you only have enough energy to do a few things and you end up doing that which you know works best. there have been too many examples of 'not so bright' singers in all styles of music, who have proven that singing is not rocket science. therefore, making it so is probably an error.
to duplicate this sense of clarity, i think you just need to try to keep singing as simple as possible. you might even keep your thoughts about 'how to do it', non verbal. if nothing else works, you could always go out and run five miles.
