This is so. much. true. Curiously, it's very well known and yet ignored most of the time, for some reason.
For simpler problems, a night sleep can be enough. Just tell your brain to work on it before you go to sleep and the solution will be ready for you by breakfast, like magic.
Or sometimes, a walk in the park.
