B

a) cortisol = stress
b) stress = stress

but i guess for B it wouldnt be a physiological it should be pathological ? because i mean if she had to study for exam and stayed up for 1 night thats normal but 2 nights that not normal, unless she was out partying shaking head




o and i think this is also why they say if u sleep less than 6hrs a day u are considered @ risk for diabetes.
