Sleep is essential for brain functionality and overall health but understanding how sleep delivers its beneficial effects remains largely unknown. Sleep researchers are exploring new and unbiased approaches that can take sleep to a systems level. In one such approach, referred to as 'systems genetics', inferences about biological phenomena can be made by linking together several levels of information from DNA to phenotype via gene expression, proteins and metabolism at the level of a population. Systems genetics offers a global and interconnected view of biological phenomena and is therefore considered critical towards predicting disease susceptibility.

Same here, MDC...
I get a lot of my most insightful ideas when I am asleep. However, I must be awake to actually implement it.
But I can surely understand about handing the problem off to the subconsious layer when I am up against a block on the conscious layer.
That's where I solve my "architectural" problems. When I am trying to see the grand plan of how the whole thing goes together. At the office, I consider it a good day if I have succeeded in not stepping on too many toes. The more suit-guys I have to interact with, the less I get done, cause often trying to do something will piss one or more of them off.
I mostly try to solve problems "at my desk" only as theatre for those paying me to solve the problem... but most of the actual work happens in my bed.
