This is Scientific American's 60-second Science, I'm Christopher Intagliata. Salvador Dali had a peculiar way of refreshing his mind—something he called "slumber with a key."
In his 1948 book 50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship, he described how it worked. "You must seat yourself in a bony armchair, preferably of Spanish style," he wrote. In your left hand, you were to clench a heavy key, suspended above a plate.
Then（时间词）, he continued, "you will have merely to let yourself be progressively invaded by a serene afternoon sleep, like the spiritual drop of anisette of your soul rising in the cube of sugar of your body." As you drifted off, the key would slip from your fingers and clang on the plate, awakening you.
He claimed the brief moment spent between wake and sleep would revive your physical and psychic being. And he cautioned that "a mere second is infinitely too long." Now Dali's mystical-sounding method has been, to some degree, vindicated by science.
We show that this period between wake and sleep is actually very inspiring for creativity—and napping with an object in hand might help to tap into this creative sweet spot.
Delphine Oudiette is a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. Since childhood（时间词）, she's found it easy to slip into the zone between wake and sleep. I try to sleep with a problem in mind and let the images come to me.
And sometimes I have great ideas. But she was curious to find out why—so she and her colleagues asked 103 volunteers to complete a series of math problems.

This is Scientific American's 60-second Science, I'm Christopher Intagliata.
这里是科学美国人——60秒科学系列，我是克里斯托弗.因塔利亚塔。
Salvador Dali had a peculiar way of refreshing his mind—something he called "slumber with a key."
萨尔瓦多.达利有一种独特的提神醒脑方法——他称之为“钥匙睡眠法”。
In his 1948 book 50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship, he described how it worked.
在他1948年出版的《魔法工艺的 50 个秘密》一书中，他描述了这一睡眠法是如何起作用的。
"You must seat yourself in a bony armchair, preferably of Spanish style," he wrote.
“你必须坐在一张细窄的扶手椅上，最好是西班牙风格的，”他写道。
In your left hand, you were to clench a heavy key, suspended above a plate.
你的左手要紧握一把悬挂在盘子上方的沉重的钥匙。
Then, he continued, "you will have merely to let yourself be progressively invaded by a serene afternoon sleep,
然后，他继续道，“你只需要让自己逐渐被午后宁静的睡意侵袭，
like the spiritual drop of anisette of your soul rising in the cube of sugar of your body."
就像你灵魂中的一滴茴香酒，逐渐浸润身体这块方糖。”
As you drifted off, the key would slip from your fingers and clang on the plate, awakening you.
当你昏昏欲睡的时候，钥匙会从你的指间滑落，哐当一声掉在盘子上，把你吵醒。
He claimed the brief moment spent between wake and sleep would revive your physical and psychic being.
他声称，在清醒和睡眠之间度过的短暂时刻可以让你的身体和精神都恢复活力。
And he cautioned that "a mere second is infinitely too long."
他还提醒称，“连一秒钟都会显得太长。”
Now Dali's mystical-sounding method has been, to some degree, vindicated by science.
现在，达利这种听起来神秘的方法在某种程度上已经被科学证明是正确的。
We show that this period between wake and sleep is actually very inspiring for creativity—and napping with an object in hand might help to tap into this creative sweet spot.
我们的研究表明，清醒和睡眠之间的这段时间实际上非常激发创造力，手持物体打盹可能有助于挖掘创造性的适宜区。
Delphine Oudiette is a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute.
德尔芬.欧迪特是巴黎大脑研究所的睡眠研究员。
Since childhood, she's found it easy to slip into the zone between wake and sleep.
从孩提时代起，她就发现很容易进入清醒和睡眠之间的区域。
I try to sleep with a problem in mind and let the images come to me.
我试着带着问题入睡，让图像浮现在我的脑海中。
And sometimes I have great ideas.
有时候我会有很棒的想法。
But she was curious to find out why—so she and her colleagues asked 103 volunteers to complete a series of math problems.
但她很好奇，想找出其中的原因——所以她和她的同事要求103名志愿者完成一系列的数学问题。
