Need a Creativity Boost? Take a Nap!

0

Scientific evidence now reveals that taking naps over an hour long may boost creative problem solving. New research is illuminating the role of REM sleep — the sleep stage in which dreams occur– in creative problem solving. This short video explains…

Sleep deprivation is known to impair memory and may cause other health problems.

On the other hand, dreaming has long been credited for creative thinking, from Kekule’s famed discovery of the ring structure of the chemical benzene to Paul McCartney’s song "Yesterday."

So, if you feel like you need a nap in the middle of the day, go ahead (if you won't get in trouble with a boss).

Until next time…
