The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
These times of of inactivity that no sensory input coming in are are when the brain processes things. And it makes perfect sense to me that in daydreaming or in boredom as you describe it that new ideas would would surface just as they would from the liinal state between sleep and awake.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

i think it also gives your brain time to sort of process information in the background let things sort of happen so when you think about the sort of cliche of you get your best ideas in the shower well it's a cliche for a reason it's because when we're focused outwardly on the outside world like in a screen our phone netflix even this conversation your brain's working hard to process that information so it's kind of a work mode when you have these moments of boredom you tend to go inside for a little while as you figure out what to do you kind of have some weird funky thoughts and that's kind of more like a rest mode for your brain i call it unfocused mode in the book and that tends to sort of give your brain a little bit of time to rest and from that seems to come good things
