Your textbook recommends which of the following to improve sleep?
A) exercising an hour before bedtime
B) concentrating on falling to sleep
C) forcing yourself to stay in bed until you fall asleep
D) waking up at the same time each morning.
Answer: D
Rationale: Getting up at the same time every morning is a good sleep practice. Although this may lead to sleepiness the first day or two, eventually it helps set the daily rhythm. Exercising during the day can also be a good sleep practice, however, exercise late in the day may leave you restless and aroused at bedtime. Concentrating on sleep and continuing to lie in bed without sleeping are also not recommended.
