New Scientist Breaking News - ‘Sleeping on it’ best for complex decisions
Complex decisions are best left to your unconscious mind to work out, according to a new study, and over-thinking a problem could lead to expensive mistakes.
The research suggests the conscious mind should be trusted only with simple decisions, such as selecting a brand of oven glove. Sleeping on a big decision, such as buying a car or house, is more likely to produce a result people remain happy with than consciously weighing up the pros and cons of the problem, the researchers say.

Ever heard of the Enteric nervous system or gut brain?
I wonder if there is a connection between the unconscious and the gut brain?
