Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discomfort from being out of sync with light and darkness is due to disrupting the body's circadian rhythms, which regulate sleep and wake cycles based on the 24-hour cycle of daylight and darkness. REM rebound refers to the increase in REM sleep after a period of sleep deprivation, sleep displacement refers to being unable to sleep in one's usual location, and sleep state misperception is a disorder where someone perceives their sleep as being much worse than it actually is.
