It is characterized by recurring losses of muscle tone during wakefulness, often triggered by an emotional experience.

This theory suggests that sleep is like reproductive behavior in the sense that we are highly motivated to engage in it, but we don’t need it to stay healthy.
Feedback
Question 5
Question text
This theory proposes that being awake disrupts the homeostasis (internal physiological stability) of the body in some way and sleep is required to restore it.
This theory proposed that emotion-inducing sensory stimuli are received and interpreted by the cortex, which triggers changes in the visceral organs via the autonomic nervous system and in the skeletal muscles via the somatic nervous system.
