Which statement is NOT aligned with obtaining adequate sleep?

• A. Sleep contributes to energy and focus.
• B. Get good sleep.
• C. Physical activity can help you sleep better.
• D. Stay up late to finish tasks.

Answer: (D)

Getting adequate sleep means providing your body with enough rest to feel energized and focused during the day. The statement about staying up late to finish tasks goes against that goal because it cuts into sleep time and can throw off your natural sleep-wake rhythm. When you stay up late, you’re more likely to have trouble falling asleep, experience lighter sleep, and wake up feeling tired, which reduces daytime energy and concentration.

The other ideas fit with the goal of adequate sleep: sleep itself contributes to energy and focus, so prioritizing good sleep supports daily functioning; actively aiming to get good sleep reinforces consistent rest and recovery; and physical activity can help you sleep better by promoting deeper sleep and helping you fall asleep more easily (as long as you’re not exercising too close to bedtime).
