As soon as he fell asleep, the balls fell to the floor and woke him up. It’s said that he was able to recall new, bright ideas using this method.
during which they were allowed to relax in a reclined position while holding an object. If the object fell — presumably after they nodded off — the participants were asked to tell the researchers what they were thinking before they let the object go. They then were given the math problems again.
