You couldnt come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep.

One of the questions was How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tired students did poorly. Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasnt enough to help the students overcome their tiredness. They still did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the cerebral cortex－the part of the brain where thinking takes place－may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight. W
