And Edison was not alone in using this nap technique systematically. Sleep trick

The artist Salvador Dali also bet on it, but in its performance it was of course more surreal sophisticated.

Also he sat in a chair, his hand slung over the backrest, but he had a metal object. And under the palm on the floor a metal plate. As he began to fall asleep, the object fell and the plate rang.
