Question 3 • Psychology - EL2084

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows.Devon hasn't been able to get more than five hours of sleep a night for the last week. He is starting to get irritable and is having problems remembering things. It is most likely that Devon is suffering from __________.

Answer
A
sleep deprivation
B
too much sleep
C
recovery sleep
D
sleep gain

Explanation

Getting no more than five hours of sleep each night for a week means Devon has not been getting enough sleep. Irritability and trouble remembering are common effects of sleep deprivation, so the correct choice is sleep deprivation. Recovery sleep is extra sleep taken to make up for lost sleep, not the condition described.
