Daydreaming is Distracting

This article says it’s a “surprise” that “daydreaming really works the brain”, rather than being “a sign of laziness”.
But is it really a surprise? Isn’t the problem with daydreaming usually that it’s really distracting? I always just figured it was distracting because it takes up so much of your brain’s attention. This is why doodling can actually help you pay attention in class: it may be a little distracting to doodle, but it keeps you from doing something even more distracting, like daydreaming.
