Analyze Julie's scenario and behavior

Julie wants to improve her daytime functioning by sleeping an hour earlier. She abandons her plan after only one night of difficulty falling asleep.

Evaluate the advice options

• A is incorrect because scientists have extensive knowledge about sleep, and sleep habits can be modified.
• B is incorrect because going to sleep later would reduce her total sleep time, worsening her morning tiredness.
• C is correct because adjusting circadian rhythms and establishing new sleep hygiene habits require consistent effort over time.
• D is incorrect because sleeping earlier to increase total sleep duration is a valid strategy if given time to work.

Select the best option

Option C is the most constructive and scientifically sound advice.
