What is an advantage of rest and sleep?

• A. Increases appetite
• B. Decreases concentration
• C. Provides energy, alertness and ability to deal with stress
• D. Causes fatigue

Answer: (C)

Rest and sleep renew energy, sharpen alertness, and improve your ability to handle stress. When you’re rested, you have more energy, better concentration and decision-making, and a steadier mood, all of which help you manage tasks and stressful situations more effectively. That’s why this outcome—energy, alertness, and resilience to stress—fits best. The other statements don’t capture the main benefits: rest doesn’t primarily increase appetite, it actually helps regulate hunger signals and hormones in a way that doesn’t describe an advantage here; it also doesn’t decrease concentration or cause fatigue—rest and sleep do the opposite by enhancing focus and reducing fatigue.
