    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    During sleep, the body goes through a process of energy restoration. This is when the body repairs and rejuvenates itself, allowing for the replenishment of energy stores that have been depleted throughout the day. During this time, various physiological processes occur, such as the release of growth hormones, tissue repair, and the consolidation of memories. This energy restoration is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being.

    Sleepwalking is a common sleep disorder characterized by walking or performing other complex behaviors while still asleep. It usually occurs during the deep stages of sleep and can range from simple actions like sitting up in bed to more complex activities like leaving the house.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sleep apnea
    Explanation
    Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. It can result in poor quality sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. This disorder occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open, leading to repeated interruptions in breathing. These interruptions can last for a few seconds to a few minutes and may occur multiple times throughout the night. Sleep apnea can have serious health consequences if left untreated, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

    • Dark circles

    • Baggy eyes

    • Well functioning system

    Correct Answer
    A. Well functioning system
    Explanation
    A well-functioning system is an indication of good sleep quality because when our body and mind are well-rested, all our bodily systems work efficiently. Good sleep allows for proper functioning of the immune system, digestion, metabolism, and overall physical and mental health. When we sleep well, our body repairs and rejuvenates itself, leading to improved cognitive function, increased energy levels, and a general sense of well-being. Therefore, a well-functioning system is a positive outcome of good sleep quality.

    • Noise

    • Quiet

    • Clapping

    • Singing

    Correct Answer
    A. Quiet
    Explanation
    Quiet environments are known to promote better sleep. Excessive noise can disrupt sleep patterns and prevent individuals from falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. On the other hand, a quiet environment helps create a calm and peaceful atmosphere, allowing individuals to relax and drift off to sleep more easily. Therefore, choosing a quiet environment over noisy ones such as clapping or singing would have a positive impact on sleep.
