I think anyone can experience this even if you're unaware of the science behind it. The brain during sleep can also connect seemingly disconnected things in ways that your daily logical process would have a lot of trouble with. That's why things seem to "click" when you wake up from sleep. If your daily thinking is a gradient descent, your sleep thinking is a flood from all points and in all directions. But I don't have any science refs on this; just my experience.
- fy20 2y agoIn my last role I was working remotely, and almost every day after lunch I'd have a nap on the sofa for 20 minutes with the cat. In that role I felt the most productive I've ever been, and I suspect it is this habit that made it so. During this time I'd often come up with solutions or new ideas to problems. Now I work in office, and even if it was socially acceptable to nap after lunch, there is no sofa or cat.

- adrian_b 2y agoWhile I have complex dreams, they seem completely unrelated to anything that I was thinking about during the previous day, in any case completely unrelated to any professional problems. Despite that, it is extremely frequent that in the very instant when I become awake in the morning I am aware of a solution to whatever problem I could not solve the previous day, so it is very common for me to start a day by jumping from the bed and going immediately to a computer, to turn it on and write down the new solution before I forget any details.
