Ari Shapiro: 我介绍了关于小睡如何促进顿悟的研究。研究表明，即使是短暂的深度睡眠也能显著提高解决问题的能力。我们讨论了德国研究人员进行的实验，他们发现进入深度睡眠（N2阶段）的参与者更有可能发现隐藏在任务中的技巧。 Regina Barber: 我提出了关于如何科学衡量顿悟时刻的疑问，并强调了研究中深度睡眠与顿悟之间的高相关性。我提到86%进入深度睡眠的参与者都经历了顿悟，这突显了深度睡眠在认知过程中的重要性。 Annika Lerver: 我解释了深度睡眠可能通过巩固学习内容，剪除不相关的突触连接，从而为大脑突破做好准备。我强调这只是一个理论，需要更多的研究来验证。我提到研究参与者需要减少睡眠和避免咖啡因，以确保他们能够快速进入睡眠状态。
