- A.
  
  9 hours
- B.

- C.

- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. 7 hours

Explanation
The recommended amount of sleep for healthy adults is at least 7 hours. This is because sleep plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being. Sufficient sleep helps to restore and rejuvenate the body, support brain function, regulate mood, and enhance productivity. While individual sleep needs may vary, most adults require around 7-9 hours of sleep per night to function optimally. Getting less than the recommended amount of sleep can lead to various negative effects such as impaired cognitive function, increased risk of chronic diseases, and decreased immune function.

Regular physical activity can promote better sleep, but you should avoid being active too close to bedtime.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Regular physical activity can indeed promote better sleep. Engaging in exercise during the day can help to tire out the body and release any pent-up energy, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. However, it is important to avoid being active too close to bedtime. Exercise stimulates the body and releases endorphins, which can make it difficult to relax and wind down before sleep. It is generally recommended to finish exercising at least a few hours before bedtime to allow the body to calm down and prepare for sleep.
