The importance of "time of rest" in learning and study has been shown many times so far. According to Professor Loren Frank of the University of California · Integrated Neurosciences Center, in a study conducted in the past, it has been repeatedly shown that "the person can strengthen the memory most when taking a rest for encryption and strengthening" Thing. Professor Frank says that the same thing can be said about not only studying but also reading mails and articles.

Professor Frank actually conducted an experiment on strengthening the memory by scanning the rat's brain. Researchers challenged rats to a new labyrinth that when they rested after completing the maze, it was shown that the brain of the rat at rest was automatically replaying the experience in the maze . Such rats let us challenge the same maze later, and we were able to reach the goal faster than the first time. On the other hand, a rat that let me challenge another maze immediately after the first maze could not replay what I learned, and even though I was in the same maze, I could not reach the goal faster than the first time is.

The human brain is the same as rats, but to fix new information more in the brain, time for rest is required. So, how much rest time is necessary? That is, it depends on people and circumstances. However, the time it takes for the brain to stop functioning is very short, and in previous studies, it is indicated that 15 minutes is enough to make it useful for learning, Professor Frank says.

Also, time that does nothing is important for the development of mental function. By deeply meditating, a person can think about the meaning of what is happening to himself, associate it with his own identity, and integrate knowledge into a single story. Such a process occurs when a person is not concentrating on one activity. Continuing to be exposed to information and stimulus makes it difficult to form a will or to make meaning, and if it is too much, it seems that a person may feel like losing purpose.

Meanwhile, rest of the spirit promotes creativity and problem solving. Professor Jonathan Schooler, a psychologist at the University of California at Santa Barbara, says that raising the idea will raise some sort of productivity, as experiences such as the Aha experience are born when wandering freely is. For example, some people may have experienced that they could remember the word when starting another task, when you can not remember the word you might think. Professor Schooler says that unconscious processes will proceed under the act of "wandering the idea" and that knowledge created by this process will emerge on the surface will lead to the Aha experience. It can be thought that depriving the brain's rest time will deprive such an unconscious process.

Professor Schooler said, "We need to realize that the continuity of thinking that is occurring inside the brain is worthwhile, as well as lack of sleep, the shortage of thinking can happen." People who can not tolerate "not doing anything" are encouraged to take "productive" thinking such as walking in a quiet place, washing dishes , folding laundry and so on.

When meditating on thinking about negative things and becoming a mental state that is not healthy, instead of disturbing meditation by entertainment and meditating on positive content, what is the obstacle It becomes important to think about. There is no "best balance" of "doing busy" and "doing nothing" for freeing the spirit, but if you need a lot of effort to leave your favorite entertainment, It is a sign that requires meditation. It is difficult to find pleasure in "doing nothing" if it does not get used, but "doing nothing" is a very important element for well-being. Mr. Frank says "taking a walk without distraction for 15 minutes a day" will change that person's world. "
