Question

scenario: youre with friends at a concert, and someone offers you an energy drink to help you stay awake. you know you have an early sports practice the next morning, and drinking caffeine late could disrupt your sleep. what is the best choice to practice self - control in this situation?

• politely decline the drink and focus on staying hydrated with water.
• take a few sips of the drink just to please your friends.
• accept the energy drink because it will keep you awake and energized for the concert.
• accept the drink and plan to sleep in the next morning.

Explanation:

To practice self - control, we need to make a choice that aligns with the goal of not disrupting sleep for the next day's sports practice. Politely declining the energy drink (which has caffeine that can disrupt sleep) and choosing water for hydration is the best option. Taking a few sips, accepting the drink (either for energy or with the plan to sleep in) goes against the need to control the impulse to drink caffeine late, as it will either still introduce caffeine or disrupt the planned early practice.

Answer:

A. Politely decline the drink and focus on staying hydrated with water.
