Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emotional stress can lead to a decrease in deep sleep and an increase in awakenings during the night. This is because the body remains in a state of arousal, making it more difficult for the individual to achieve deep, restful sleep. Additionally, the stress can lead to an increase in cortisol levels, which can interfere with sleep patterns. Less Stage 1 and Stage II NREM sleep may also occur, but this is not the best choice as the primary impact of emotional stress on sleep. More NREM sleep or more REM sleep are also unlikely outcomes of emotional stress.
