Electroencephalography (EEG) is commonly used in sleep studies to measure brain activity.

Why do some people sleep when they are stressed?
When stressed, the body releases hormones such as cortisol which can disrupt the sleep-wake cycle.

However, disrupted sleep patterns are also common in individuals experiencing stress, which can result in difficulties falling or staying asleep.
