This is why I would smash my head against a wall trying to beat a boss in Dark Souls for an entire evening, then wake up the next day and beat them on my first or second attempt.
Very common phenomena that is discussed frequently in the souls community.
- t-shaped 6mo agoThat’s so on point. One time I was stuck on One Reborn from Bloodborne for a whole evening. While I was sleeping I figured out the optimal path to best the Chime Maidens. I woke up and beat the boss in 5 mins. Very real phenomenon. Happened so many times
- hatthew 6mo agoI experience similar, but I'm pretty sure it's just rest and a fresh mind, not overnight learning/thinking. When I'm bashing my head against a wall, I'm stuck in a local optimum, and sleeping lets me reset and try something new that often works better (and I execute it better since I'm not as tired).
- jmiskovic 6mo agoIt's both. Sleep is when trained skill get delegated into the muscle memory. Not sure if it relates to dreaming. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_memory#Sleep_effects_on_muscle_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_memory#Sleep_effects_on...
- Root_Denied 6mo agoSometimes called the "cold controller" effect as well, and not necessarily requiring sleep but rather just a break from the game.
