Ming becoming sleepy is an internal stimulus as it is a physiological need within her body that caused her to feel tired and drowsy. Need recognition refers to the process of realizing that one has a need or desire for something, cognitive dissonance refers to a state of psychological tension that arises when one's beliefs or attitudes are inconsistent with their behavior, and an external stimulus refers to a factor from the environment that influences behavior or perception.
