Psychology: Insight and the sleep committee
Pierre Maquet1 & Perrine Ruby1
Abstract
We all spend about a third of our lives asleep, an essential but seemingly unproductive state. Experimental evidence now emerges to support anecdotal evidence that sleep can stimulate creative thinking.
Does this experience seem familiar? The solution to an unfathomable problem, left unresolved in the evening, effortlessly pops into your mind the following morning.
- Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby are at the Cyclotron Research Centre, University of Liège, Allée du 6 Août, 8 Sart Tilman, B-4000 Liège, Belgium.
