Using sleep as a space for problem-solving

Eric Maisel’s guide presents a practice of assigning a problem to consider during sleep, then noting any ideas that come on waking. Alongside this approach, the book offers space to record feelings and findings, and methods aimed at helping readers relax sooner and sleep more deeply. Its premise connects sleep with daytime concerns such as stress and anxiety, treating the hours in bed as part of a broader process of reflection. The description attributes the problem-solving approach to a study involving Maisel and colleagues; it does not establish sleep as a guaranteed source of solutions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in exploring a structured sleep-based approach to problem-solving.
  • Readers seeking methods for managing stress and anxiety around sleep.
  • People who value guided reflection and a place to record observations.

Book overview

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 50-70 million adults in the United States experience chronic sleep deprivation. The average American sleeps for only 5.7 hours a night, 2 hours less than the recommended minimum. With Dr. Maisel's help, readers can learn how to snooze sooner and spend their hours in bed productively!

An expert on the effect of stress on sleep, Dr. Eric Maisel has innovated a way to manage anxiety and stress using the power of your own mind. A fresh and unexpected approach to problem-solving, Maisel participated in leading a study on various aspects of sleep. A positive and surprising discovery from this study, people can "assign" themselves a problem to solve during sleep and awaken with potential solutions. Night Brilliance is not only a guide to this practice for readers, but also a space to record your feelings and findings. It also provides ways to sleep more, more deeply, and relax sooner.

Why does this work so well?

According to Dr. Maisel and his colleagues' study, when you're asleep, you're not simultaneously working, scrolling, or multitasking in any way. You have your full mind dedicated to solving issues that arise during the day.
