According to research sleep may do more than just give us some beauty sleep! A good night’s rest can take of those under-eye bags and help you find solutions to your problems.
“The slumbering mind might not seem like an apt tool for any critical thinking, but humans can actually solve problems while asleep, researchers say. Not only that, but one purpose for dreaming itself may be to help us find solutions to puzzles that plague us during waking hours”
Deirdre Barrett, a psychologist at Harvard University claims that dreaming allows us to solve problems easier because we use “out-of-the-box” thinking.
Barrett’s theory on dreaming, which she discussed at the Association for Psychological Science meeting here last month, boils down to this: Dreaming is really just thinking, but in a slightly different state from when our eyes are open.
