It’s probably true that getting enough sleep does help you think better and your brain probably thinks for you while you are sleeping. Here’s an interesting article about sleep and how your brain is still working while you are dozing off.

Basically, your brain goes on automatic pilot. Without your being aware of it, something inside your head comes alive and starts mulling over all the things you learned that day. It sorts through them, organizes them, considers them, calculates them, decides what’s important and what’s not.
