"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.

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."
