Directions: The question consists of a statement and two inferences. The student must first determine whether each statement is true. Choose the appropriate answer after reading the statement carefully.

Statement: Those that feel the time is being wasted on sleep will more likely cheat themselves of the seven to nine hours they need to make their waking hours more healthy, productive, and enjoyable. A primary cause of excessive sleepiness among Americans is self-imposed sleep deprivation, due to our 24/7 society. Health professionals should be concerned that Americans may think of sleep as a waste of time, when in fact, chronic sleep deprivation can lead to serious health issues.

Inference:

I. Seven to nine hours of sleep promotes good health.

II. A 24/7 society promises round-the-clock accessibility.
