Why can you sit 2 hours trying to solve a programming/math problem, give up, go to bed & then when you wake up, solve the problem in 10 minutes?

Not sure if it was already said and I have nothing really to back this up. I have heard that your brain creates synapse paths when you are thinking or solving a problem. When you take a break, those paths fade. Trying the task again later will cause new synapse paths to form which can lead you to different conclusions. Along those same lines, the fluid in your brain moves around. So when you lay down some paths are broken since the fluid facilitates the electric currents. A similar affect can be achieved by shaking your head back and forth rapidly.
If anyone can debunk or confirm this, please do so.
