Using the snooze button can have a negative impact on a person’s health.
Perhaps more serious, though, is how this sleepiness can affect a person’s mood.
Sleepiness also may occur if the body’s circadian rhythm, or internal body clock, is disrupted.
Interfering with the natural circadian rhythms is equally distracting.

Multiple Choice
TURN TO Coober Pedy: Underground City.
Anika has written a weak thesis statement for her paper. Which of the following can replace sentences 4 and 5 and serve as a more effective thesis for this paper?
The people who live in Coober Pedy love their special little city. All of these people have made a decision to live in a unique way.
It isn’t what you can see that makes this city amazing; it’s what you cannot see. There are 3,500 people who call Coober Pedy home, and almost all of them live and work under ground.
Coober Pedy’s interesting history includes miners, people living under ground, very hot weather, and media attention. All of this put together makes Coober Pedy an interesting place to me
It isn’t because it’s abandoned that Coober Pedy is fascinating; it’s because it only looks abandoned since people are really living under ground.
