Hi,

After being a TIPS lurker off and on for several years I would now like to directly 
take advantage of the combined wisdom of the list ...

While covering a unit on consciousness, levels of awareness, and sleep in my general 
psychology class I was asked several questions I was unable to answer (as is often the 
case, but shhhh...don't tell 'em ;-)

Most notably - 

1. Why do some people have a heightened sense of awareness when awakened from stage 1 
sleep? (I said I don't seem to experience a heightened sense of awareness when dozing 
off but several of my students were insistent that they did.)

2. When someone is sleep walking/talking, why is it so difficult to wake them? (I said 
because they are in one of the deep stages of sleep --stage 3 or 4-- but wasn't sure)

thanks,
Mark
