Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Becoming accustomed to going to bed late and then trying to shift to going to bed earlier can disrupt the natural sleep cycle and make it harder to fall asleep at the desired time. This is because the body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, has been set to a later bedtime and needs time to adjust.
