Lie can help solve problems

Waking up from a deep ending appears to better people solve creation problem.
In a new study, people are more likely to have a “Eureka” opportunity when they have just entered the second stage of sleep – where brain activity called clean spindles called lightly or never.
The findings suggest that a short, deep sleep can cause significant opportunities to understand, as Anika Löwe At the Max Planck Institute for the development of the person in Berlin.
“I think we were at the beginning of opening what was actually happening during sleep that makes it useful,” he said. “A possibility is that in the deepest sleep, our brain stimulates what is relevant and what is unrelated, and so when we wake up opportunities to reach the problem with the problem.”
Last studies are mostly found that naps can boost creativity and help people solve problems, but there is no misunderstanding of what stage of sleep is most useful. Many suggests that The most episode of non-sleep rem, N1, ideal – an idea that Thomas Edison occupied, reportedly used to lie down with steel balls That would crash on the floor on the floor and stir her if she drove hard to sleep. But other studies suggest that the deep n2 stage – more lighter than gradual sleep, N3 – prompts change.
To investigate, the löwe and his companions asking 90 people aged 18 to 35 and no sleeping pain to undergo the direction of dot on a screen. Researchers do not inform participants that the colors of the dots gradually began to predict the correct answer to the title by the task.
Fifteen participants suddenly found shortcut for the first 25 minutes of the task. The remaining 75 is invited to lie for a 20-minute ends in a quiet, dark room, while EEG monitors who track their brain activity.
After the fall, they tried to try the tasks again. At this time, most participants think of the shortcut from colors, but the possibility of a season of Eureka shows how deep people are. Among the 68 participants whose EEG data allows high-quality readings, 85.7 percent of people falling in the light N1 phase and only 55.5 percent of those who do not sleep.
The study clearly shows that deeper sleep accelerates the chances of Eureka – at least for this task, as Itamar Lerner At the University of Texas in San Antonio. “The type of task used is critical for If it is passed to sleep or not.“
Delphina Ooudette In the paris brain notes that different task designs can mean why his team finds more trouble solving after sleeping problem after sleeping problem after sleeping in the problem after sleeping in the problem after sleeping in the problem after the problem sleeping after the problem sleep after sleeping in the problem after sleeping in the problem after sleeping in the problem. “Perhaps both stages of sleep are important, but for different types of cognitive processes we should lower to understand,” he said.
Björn Rasch At the University of Friborg, Switzerland, saying the findings clearly support the idea that deeper sleep can support the problem solving the problem. However, he neglected that the design of the study makes it difficult to separate the cause from chance. Because participants were not randomly assigned to sleep stages or studied individual across different those who who managed to fall asleep in an IKEA armchair at a research lab just happening NAP, he says.
