In sleep, your “background mind” will process all the information you have gathered. I often find that when I come back to the problem the next day the solution jumps out at me.
This happened to me so often and in such striking ways that when presented with a problem now, unless the answer is obvious, I always say I'll be sleeping on it and, no, I won't be solving it today - it's interesting how many people think this is laziness at first, and will even tell you so, but are then thankful the next day when you come up with a creative solution.
