Researchers also found that taking a break and performing a different complex task doesn't reap the same benefits.

Daydreaming has often been attributed to some of the greatest breakthroughs in science. Well known thinkers such as Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were believed to have come up with some of their most significant discoveries and ideas while allowing their minds to wander.
