How Dream It works

Picture a calm scene before sleep, and it's easier to let go of the day (Harvey & Payne, 2002). What you think about before sleep is also more likely to show up in your dreams (Barrett, 1993).

How Sleep On It works

Sleep helps the brain find hidden solutions — but only to problems you've already worked on (Wagner et al., 2004). So write the puzzle down before bed, then let the night work on it.
