I never knew the term “incubation” existed for it. Good to know! I’ve found for me it’s most effective when I very specifically lay out the rules of the problem in text, go to sleep and re-read through the rules. Usually I’ll have some new idea and change the rules I made to fit this probably-better idea. Sometimes it’s pretty interesting to see how the “specs” of the problem change before and after solution.
