Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Sleep is a vital component of overall health and well-being, but not everyone requires the same amount of
sleep. People generally fall into two categories: long sleepers and short sleepers. Long sleepers typically need
around 9-10 hours of sleep per night to feel fully rested, while short sleepers function well on 5-6 hours of sleep.
Long sleepers are individuals who naturally require more sleep than the average person. They often feel the
need for 9-10 hours of sleep each night to maintain optimal functioning. This need for extended rest can be due
to a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, lifestyle, and overall health. Long sleepers tend to have a
slower sleep cycle, which means they spend more time in deep sleep stages, crucial for physical and mental
restoration.
In contrast, short sleepers thrive on significantly less sleep. They typically require only 5-6 hours per night
and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Short sleepers often have a more efficient sleep
cycle, spending less time in deep sleep stages but still managing to get sufficient rest. This efficiency allows them
to function at high levels of productivity and alertness with less sleep. Some short sleepers attribute their ability
to thrive on less sleep to genetic factors or a naturally higher level of energy and resilience. However, it is
essential to note that not everyone can adopt a short sleeper lifestyle without experiencing negative effects on
health and performance.
The amount of sleep one gets significantly impacts daily life and overall health. Long sleepers often find it
easier to focus, maintain emotional balance, and perform physical tasks when they have had enough rest. They
might struggle with schedules that do not allow for their required amount of sleep, leading to fatigue and
decreased productivity. On the other hand, short sleepers can benefit from having more waking hours to engage
in activities and responsibilities. Their ability to function well on limited sleep can be advantageous in
demanding careers or busy lifestyles.
Both long and short sleepers must pay attention to their sleep quality and overall health.
