Quote:While evidence for the role of sleep in creative problem-solving has been looked at by prior research, underlying mechanisms such as different stages of sleep had not been explored. Using a creativity task called a Remote Associates Test (RAT), study participants were shown multiple groups of three words (for example: cookie, heart, sixteen) and asked to find a fourth word that can be associated to all three words (sweet, in this instance). Participants were tested in the morning, and again in the afternoon, after either a nap with REM sleep, one without REM or a quiet rest period. The researchers manipulated various conditions of prior exposure to elements of the creative problem, and controlled for memory.
None of the participants made a decision while they were asleep. They made the decisions while they were awake. Sleep deprivation has an adverse affects on decision making, immunity, muscle hypertrophy, etc. Your brain doesn't decide your muscles will get bigger while you sleep. Your brain doesn't decide your immune system will improve while you sleep. Your brain doesn't decide the answer is "sweet" while you are asleep.
