Thomas Alva Edison used to do power napping in order to offer his phenomenal brain a break from the mental effort. In order to stimulate his creativity, he slept in the armchair, with the hand supported on/by the elbow, while holding tight in the hand a bundle of balls. Thus, according to him , he would delegate to his subconscious some problems on which he worked .
