Scientists at the University of Lübeck in Germany have found for the first time that our sleeping brains continue working on problems that baffle us during the day. 

Volunteers were 3 times more likely to successfully solve a series of math problems than than sleep deprived participants.

Previous studies have shown that about one third of the population are sleep deprived – contributing to increases accidents and worsening health. 

Sleep is thought to help us consolidate memories and sharpen thoughts. 

This study confirms bio-chemical studies of the brain that indicate memories are restructured before they are stored. 

There are some experts who believe that in fact – lack of sleep could be a key reason why senior citizens have memory problems – it’s common that seniors have trouble sleeping. 

Researchers believe that even gradual decreases in the total time for slow wave sleep and deep sleep is correlated to a decrease in memory function and problem solving ability.

So when you feel the urge to take a snooze – tell your boss, spouse or partner you are not being lazy – you’re just improving your ability to proactively solve problems!
