Ask any smoker, and they will tell you that their best ideas came to them when they went out for a cigarette. That's why they love their breaks and even advocate for having them.

The myth about ideas striking people while taking shower is of the same nature.)

It has something to do with taking a fresh look, another perspective and just reducing the level of stress which accumulates after a 40-50 minutes of some boring activity.

It is an example how a change in the physical behavior can influence one's mental processes.
