sean becomes very sleepy by late afternoon most days and thinks he should make time to fit in a nap. before including a daily nap in his schedule, he should consider which of the following to ensure that he actually benefits from it?
a) his accumulated sleep debt
b) his body weight and tendency to snore
c) the time of day and length of the nap
d) his need for caffeine in the afternoon

Explanation:

The time of day and length of the nap are crucial factors. Napping too late in the day can interfere with nighttime sleep. A short nap (20 - 30 minutes) is ideal as it avoids entering deep sleep, which can cause grogginess. Accumulated sleep debt is better addressed by improving nighttime sleep. Body weight and snoring (related to sleep apnea) are not directly relevant to the effectiveness of a nap. Caffeine need is about stimulants, not nap benefits.

Answer:

C. the time of day and length of the nap
