We're covering sleep in my General Psychology class, and as usual,
students have lots of questions. This particular batch of students,
though, seems to have been briefed on the areas of sleep I know the least
about (and, of course, they're asking all about it :) So, I turn to the
knowledgeable folks on TIPS for help.
With respect to the first one, I (and, I suspect, the student) know that
it's harder to sleep when you're "stressed," but I was unsure as to the
mechanism involved.

Thanks,
