1. What is the meaning of the word satiety as used in the last paragraph about The Sleep Workout?

• A. A state of tiredness.
• B. A state of being satisfied.
• C. A state of being overloaded.
• D. A state of confusion.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Satiety refers to a state of being satisfied, particularly in terms of appetite. In the context of the excerpt provided, it explains that individuals who lack adequate sleep may experience lowered levels of leptin, a hormone that controls appetite. As a result, even after meeting their caloric needs, they may still crave carbohydrates, indicating a lack of satisfaction or satiety. This can lead to obesity and disrupt healthy eating habits. Therefore, choice B, 'A state of being satisfied,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the meaning of satiety in the context of appetite regulation and sleep's impact on food cravings.
