○ too little sleep can cause alzheimer’s disease.
which one of the following is a true statement regarding the need for sleep?
● doing certain activities before bed can disrupt sleep.
○ the older a person is, the more sleep he or she needs.
○ in comparing identical and fraternal twins, fraternal twins had more similar sleep patterns.
○ sleep is a luxury.

Explanation:

• "The older a person is, the more sleep..." is false (older people need less sleep generally).
• Fraternal twins’ sleep patterns are less similar than identicals (genetic influence), so that’s false.
• Sleep is a biological necessity, not a luxury.
• Activities like screen time before bed disrupt sleep, so this is true.

Answer:

Doing certain activities before bed can disrupt sleep.
