From diary entries and other personal【C2】______from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night. By the 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced【C3】______to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. "People cheat on their sleep, and they don’t even【C4】______they’re doing it," says Dr. David. "They think they’re okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, 8 or even more to feel ideally【C5】______

选项
答案L
解析 此处需填入名词、形容词或分词，作feel的表语。本句意为：他们认为睡6．5小时也没有问题(okay)，而实际上他们需要睡7．5或8个小时，甚至更多才能感觉……。由前后两个时间的对比和空格前的ideally(理想地)可知，vigorous“精力充沛的”符合句意。
