Answer to Question 1

Answer: People underestimate the amount of sleep they get each night; there is no single definition of insomnia; sleeping pill use may leave a person groggy the next day.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Circuits in the brain control the sequencing of the various phases of sleep, with the cycle lasting about 90 minutes. Blood flow can increase dramatically to deliver oxygen and glucose to brain cells that are active during REM sleep (e.g., the visual association cortex) and there is evidence of mental activity during sleep (e.g., dreaming).
