It turned out that by taking the horizontal position, the person becomes more intelligent. It found Australian neuroscientist. "Horizontal position really affects the performance of the brain - said Dr. Darren Lipnitsky from the School of Physiology of the Australian National University. - My experiences have shown that lying down, people are much easier to cope with even the most complex tasks ».

At the request of the physiologist 20 volunteers guessed anagram - were the words of five letters entangled. And while at first they did it standing, and then - lying. It turned out that, lounging on the couch, people found a solution much faster. And they tend to appear suddenly in the brain.

Neuroscientists have found that when a person thinks, taking a horizontal position, it is in his blood gets a large amount of norepinephrine. This hormone is produced adrenal glands.
