Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a good night’s sleep, a problem, which couldn’t be solved the night before, can often seem more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal (個人體驗的). But researchers, at the University of Luebek in Germany, have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight (頓悟) and problem-solving.

       “If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories and restructures (重新組織) them, and as a result, after sleep, the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr Jan Born, a neuroscientist (神經(jīng)科學(xué)家), at the university.

To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn a string of (一連串) numbers into a new order. There was also a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: Half were allowed to sleep after the training, while the rest were forced to stay awake. Dr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out (想出) the third rule as the other group.

“Sleep helped,” Born said in a telephone interview. “The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation (描繪，表現(xiàn)) of the problem you want to solve in your brain and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem.” But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it.

Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking. Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added.
