I believe the answer is:

trances

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what can suggest certain psychological states?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'disturbed rest can' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'rest'+'can'='restcan'
'restcan' is an anagram of 'TRANCES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trances that I've seen before include "Hypnotic states" , "what half-conscious people experience?" , "Recants (anag.)" .)
