Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microsleep is a brief episode of sleep that lasts for a few seconds to a minute and is often triggered by sleep deprivation. Therefore, microsleep is most likely to occur due to sleep deprivation (option D). It is less likely to occur during stage 3 sleep (option A) because it is a deep sleep stage and it would take more than a few seconds to transition into it. It is also less likely to occur just before one awakens in the morning (option B) because at that time, the person is usually in a light sleep stage or may already be awake. Microsleep is not related to sensory restriction treatment (option C), which is a method of reducing stimuli to help individuals focus or relax.
