Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The recommendation to use depressant drugs, such as alcohol or barbiturates, that cause drowsiness is not a valid or safe recommendation for minimizing sleep problems. It can lead to addiction, tolerance, and dependence, and can worsen sleep problems in the long run. The other three recommendations are valid and evidence-based approaches for improving sleep quality and reducing sleep difficulties.
