The Importance of Sleep in Problem Solving
49:19 - 59:00 (09:41)
Sleep plays a vital role in problem solving as it allows the brain to expunge meaningless information, run algorithms, and arrive at solutions for the previous day and even for long term problems to be solved. To build up resilience, one needs to allow limbic friction by avoiding external input such as music, news, social media, and focusing on interoceptive activities that require deep thinking without distractions.

Summary
The brain needs sleep to expunge meaningless things from the previous day and run variations on algorithms. Caffeine titrating can also help bring the autonomic arousal state to a perfect place, especially when trying to focus on work.

The early part of the day is the ideal time to allow sleep-mode solutions to reveal themselves, and individuals need to be aware of identifying whether they are in interoceptive or exteroceptive mode to maximize productivity.
