Cognitive flexibility across the sleep-wake cycle: REM-sleep enhancement of anagram problem solving. (2002, background): “While such a paradigm awakenings was equal to that seen in the WAKE test has also been used successfully in a previous study of sessions, while the number of puzzles solved following semantic priming [35], it is not ideal.”
The Role of Sleep in Cognition and Emotion (2009, background): “…situation in waking, performance following REM sleep awakenings shows a greater priming effect by weakly related words than by strong primes, while strong priming exceeds weak priming in NREM sleep (Stickgold et al. 1999), again indicating the highly associative properties of the REM sleep brain.”
Overnight Alchemy: Sleep-dependent Memory Evolution (2010, background): “Similarly, following awakenings from REM sleep (but not after awakenings from NREM sleep or during waking), normally weakly related word pairs produce more semantic priming than do strongly related pair”

Sleep, memory, and plasticity. (2006, background): “It is interesting to note that sleep has already been implicated in all of these steps (Crick & Mitchison 1983, Stickgold 2002, Stickgold et al. 1999, Walker et al. 2003a).”
Affect and Creativity at Work (2005, background): “Moreover, there is mounting evidence that sleep can facilitate the types of memory and learning processes, such as associative memory (Stickgold et al., 1999), that contribute to creative problem solving (Stickgold and Walker, 2004).”
How Memory Replay in Sleep Boosts Creative Problem-Solving (2018, background): “At the cognitive level, REM has been shown to allow semantic priming to percolate further through a schema of associated ideas [14,39], suggesting a higher degree of connectivity.”
