Advice to “sleep on it" could be well founded, scientists say. After a good night's sleep a problem that seemed insurmountable the night before can often appear more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal. But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night's sleep can improve insight and problem-solving. "If you have some newly acquired memories in your brain, sleep acts on those memories, restructures them, so that after sleep the insight into a problem which you could not solve before increases," said Dr Jan Born, neuroscientist, at the university. To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them convert a string of numbers into a new order. There was also a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem.
科学家声称“第二天再说”的建议可能颇有几分道理。一夜安眠之后，原本似乎难以克服的问题往往就显得好办一些了，但到目前为止这种说法还没有确凿的根据。 不过，德国吕贝克大学的研究人员设计了一个试验，其结果显示，良好的睡眠有助于提高人们的洞察力和解决问题的能力。该大学的神经科学家扬•波恩博士说：“如果你脑中有一些新的记忆，在你睡觉的时候，大脑会对它们进行处理和重构。这样一来，到了第二天，你对前一天不能解决的问题就有了更多的认识。”为了检验这种理论，研究人员教给志愿者们两条简单的规则，让他们据此对一串数字进行重新排序。但这个试验中还有另一条潜藏的规则，它能加快志愿者解决问题的速度。
