Often it's true for adults too. When you're overtired, it's sometimes harder to sleep. But why should that be? It doesn't make sense. Any ideas?
- johnchristopher 8y agoThere should be no reason to be overtired so your body reacts by keeping you awake to deal with it until the stressful events are over but this is stressful by itself. And modern city life has no shortage of stress.
- slothtrop 8y agoMy guess is cortisol and possibly anxiety surrounding sleep.
- muzani 8y agoPart of it is when adults get worried about the lack of sleep, and they get stressed out, which keeps them awake. Cortisol is really good at it.
