Getting solutions to problems while sleeping!

One of the odities in life is the old adage:

Seek and ye shall find

Try this tonight. Before you go to bed, write down a question to which you are seeking an answer. Phisically write it down in a small notepad and leave it, with the pen on your nightstand. Repeat the question in your brain. Try to come up with the answer. Chances are you won't have it. Now go to bed.

The next day, when you wake up, look at the notepad and start writing down what you think the answer is. Strangely enough, 6 out of 10 times, ou come up with a meaningful answer to your question!

While you were sleeping, your subconsious did not. It kept on working on the answer to your pressing question, giving you the answer when you wake.

Note. The subconsious can only give you good answers if you feed your brain with new info quite often. If you are an accountant, don't expect your brain to come up with the answer to a nuclear Physics question, and visa versa. But if the answer is within your abilities, but you just do not seem to get to it while thinking about it: Use this metod. You might just be pleasantly surprized.
