Question

because of her job, jessica sleeps 5 to 6 hours per night on weekends. which of the following is the best strategy for her to resolve her sleep debt? a) she can sleep 8 to 9 hours per night monday through friday. b) she can readjust her circadian rhythm by sleeping 5 to 6 hours every night. c) she can sleep 12 hours on monday nights. d) she cant make up for her lost sleep.

Explanation:

• Option A: Sleeping 8 - 9 hours per night on weekdays (Monday - Friday) helps to gradually make up for the sleep debt accumulated on weekends. This is a consistent and healthy way to regulate sleep.
• Option B: Sleeping 5 - 6 hours every night would not resolve the sleep debt but rather maintain or worsen it as it is a low - sleep - duration pattern.
• Option C: Sleeping 12 hours only on Monday nights is an irregular pattern. Irregular sleep patterns can disrupt the circadian rhythm and may not effectively resolve long - term sleep debt.
• Option D: Sleep debt can be resolved with proper sleep strategies, so this option is incorrect.

Answer:

A. She can sleep 8 to 9 hours per night Monday through Friday.
