Sleep is a natural state of rest for the body and mind, but individuals can be easily aroused from it. Stupor is a state of partial unconsciousness where the individual can be aroused, but only with intense or repeated stimuli. A chronic vegetative state is a state of wakefulness without awareness or consciousness.
