Summary

This study looks at how stress and insomnia are connected. Researchers used driving simulations with stressful events to measure emotional reactions and sleep patterns in 15 women with and without insomnia. The goal is to understand how stress affects sleep and vice versa, which could help prevent short-term sleep problems from becoming chronic insomnia.
