Why do I frequently come up with new ideas or answers in the shower?

Answer by  atman (308)

Ideas may flow more freely at times when you are relaxed and alone, such as in the shower. This set quiet time may relieve your daily stressors. The hot steam makes your muscles relax and this may affect your energy by calming you and helping all those ideas that may have been hiding to release.
