Inspired by sleeping (Sleep Essential for Creativity)

Got a creative block or need to make a big decision? Sleep on it. That’s what this study mentioned at Yahoo! recommends, sleeps spurns creativity. Maybe we can sleep at the office when big issues arise.

For the first time, scientists say they have proved what creative minds have known all along: that our sleeping brains continue working on problems that baffle us during the day, and that the right answer may come more easily after eight hours of rest.

The German study is considered to be the first hard evidence supporting the commonsense notion that creativity and problem-solving appear to be directly linked to adequate sleep.

Some researchers said the study provides a valuable reminder for overtired workers and students that sleep is often the best medicine.
