Subject: [tips] sleep and temperature
In an intro psych text, we get these two items. Same chapter, different
sections:
a) The higher the body temperature, the more alert people are; the lower the
body temperature, the sleepier they are.
b) Warm room temperature can make a person sleepy.
Granted, body temperature and room temperature are not the same thing, but
the two statements seem to be in conflict. What's the missing piece to
explain it all?!

Yeah! I suspect the subject just had a meal-a critical variable.
