According to the restoration theory of sleep, which one of the following best explains the difference between an infant's sleep and an older child's sleep?
Older children need more food to east and therefore they have less time for sleep than infants
Infants undergo more rapid brain development and therefore they experience more REM sleep than older children

Infants have access to safe and stable places to sleep and therefore they experience more sleep overall than older children
Jason was taking part in a study of the sleep patterns of adolescents. From the ages of 11 to 24, he was required to keep a sleep diary for one month each year. In the sleep diary he described how tired he felt during the day. In the same month he also wore an electronic device that recorded the amount of time he spent asleep.
The researcher was collecting
subjective data
