Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lack of sleep impairs memory consolidation and retrieval, which negatively affects learning and recall. Therefore, Vanessa is likely to perform significantly below her fullest potential. A brief surge of energy (A) is unlikely because sleep deprivation leads to decreased alertness and performance. Resting her eyes (B) may help alleviate eye strain, but it is not a prominent consequence of sleep deprivation. It is uncertain when normal mental functioning (D) will be restored, but it will likely take more than two nights of sleep to fully recover from sleep deprivation.
