In order to be able to perform and benefit from your own knowledge, it is alpha omega that the brain is fresh and functioning. Several times a day, it is important that you let your brain rest so that you achieve a forced brainstorm. According to Mindhelper, it is when you relax and sit in your own world that the ideas come, and you can subsequently immerse yourself.

The most important element for learning and benefits is relaxation and sleep, where the brain is allowed to relax.
