Have a problem you're dealing with?

You may want to sleep on it!

Scientists have found that a good night's sleep helps us to rationalize and neutralize embarrassing experiences.

That's according to a new study from the Netherlands.

They say rest helps your brain resolve emotions, helping you deal with cringe-worthy episodes in life.

But scientists found that insomniacs remain haunted by embarrassing moments.

It is thought that their brains have not had a chance to deal with the issue.
