When Thomas Edison felt blocked when inventing, his go to procedure would be to nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball. As he began to fall into slumber, his muscles relaxed, letting the ball fall, thus abruptly waking him - along with insights into his conundrums. Like Edison, surrealist painter Salvador Dalí also believed that interrupting his sleep onset would boost his creative output.

Most call this transitional phase when we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep, ‘Lucid Dreaming’. Its onset occurs as we start to doze off. Muscles relax, leading into dreamlike visions called hypnagogia.
