We know we need it. We know we feel worse if we sleep badly. We know that sleep deprivation will kill you in the end.
Yet it’s still a time which is very unknown.
During certain phases of sleep your body and brain restore and heal themselves. The best time for this work is before midnight, so you have an advantage if you’re an early to bed type.
While you sleep, your brain mulls over the information from the day before. It files it away, decides which is important and which is not. It “lays down” memories worth keeping and lets go of those it decides are not that crucial. It helps you match information from old memories to your newest memories, seeing connections, matching information that might not seem related.
People who work in creative fields know that after a period of intense effort on a task, it’s best then to rest, sleep on it, and wait for one’s subconscious mind to come up with a solution. And very often, if enough work is put into the first phase, and then you take some time off and go and do something quite different for a day or two, it will come to you in a flash.
The answer seems so inspired and yet so simple you wondered how you could have missed it. The answer is, rest and letting your mind get on with it without your conscious interference is the key.
Many incredible scientific discoveries have been made this way. I myself have come up with some extremely important wealth creation formulae in this way, such as the Formula for Riches, which is key to wealth creation and is also the subject of my book “The Formula for Riches, the Difference Between Rich and Poor”.
