While napping can be helpful in small increments, it is not the best strategy to fully resolve sleep debt. Option D suggests that Jessica aims to get a full night's sleep on weeknights, which is the best way to catch up on missed sleep. While it may not be feasible to sleep 8-9 hours every night, she can aim to get more sleep on weeknights than on weekends to gradually fulfill her lost sleep.
