3)How much sleep do you get per night, or combined with naps?

Answer C: 1 Point

You are not getting enough sleep, and may have built up a ’Äòsleep defecit’Äô that makes it more difficult to focus on tasks, handle everyday stressors, and fight off illness. You may even be at a significantly greater risk of getting into a car accident or making other errors associated with impaired functioning. You may want to work on time management and structure your lifestyle to include more night sleep, or at least a brief afternoon nap.
