"I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting 【C1】______  sleep than they ought to." says Dr. David. 【C2】______  people who think they are Sleeping enough would probably be better 【C3】______  with more rest.

"The best sleep habits once were 【C7】______  on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark." By the 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced 【C8】______ , to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. "People cheat on their sleep, and they don’t even 【C9】______  they’re doing it," says Dr. David.

"In our soci-ety, you’re considered 【C15】______  it’ you say you only need 5.5 hours’ sleep. If yon say you’ve got to get 8.5 hours, people think you lack 【C16】______  and ambition."
     To assess the 【C17】______  of sleep deficit, researchers have put subjects 【C18】______  a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. "We’ve found that if you’re sleep-deprived, performance 【C19】______ ," says Dr. David. "Short-term memory is impaired, 【C20】______  are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate."   [br] 【C8】
