Thomas Edison would nap holding steel balls in his hands — the moment he drifted into the theta state and dropped them, the noise would wake him so he could **capture the creative ideas** that flashed through his mind.

Science now confirms that this state boosts creativity, intuition, and memory — Edison was basically **using his brain’s built‑in innovation mode** before we had the tech to measure it.
