Salvador Dali utilized a unique technique for napping called the 'sleep with a key method', involving holding a key over a metal plate to wake himself. These brief naps provided him psychological and physical revitalization, thereby spurring creativity. Similarly, Thomas A. Edison embraced micro-naps, using iron balls and pans to achieve the same effect. Scientific research now supports these practices, indicating that sleep, especially REM sleep, facilitates creativity through vivid dreams that inspire artistic endeavors.
