22、him with insights* into his problems. Or so the story goes.Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, proving that the famous inventor was on to something. People following his recipe* tripled their chances of solving a math problem
23、. The trick was to wake up in the transition* between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and happens right when we start to sleep.Researchers invited more than 100 easy sleeper
24、s to be volunteers or the experiment. The team gave each of them a math test. Those who didnt find the key took a 20-minute break resting in a chair in a dark room with their eyes closed. Each held a plastic bottle in their right hand. After the break when the bottle fell, the voluneteers went back
25、to complete the math problem.

27、you wake up too early or sleep too deep.”Therefore, the research team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring* their brain waves in real time. “Edison was great”, Oudiette says, “and now we have a lot more to explore.”23Edison would nap in an armchair whe
