Answer 1

Assad's sleep drive by 10:00 p.m. would likely be high due to the accumulation of homeostatic sleep pressure from his day's activities, increasing his readiness to sleep.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Based on Assad's activities throughout the day, which included getting up early, going to the gym, attending classes, cooking, and studying for several hours, we can describe his sleep drive by 10:00 p.m. as likely to be quite high.
• Sleep drive, also known as homeostatic sleep pressure, builds up throughout the day as a person remains awake and is involved in mentally or physically demanding activities.
• By the end of such a busy day, the accumulation of adenosine—a neurotransmitter that promotes sleep and builds up in the brain during waking hours—would contribute to a feeling of tiredness, making Assad more inclined to feel sleepy and ready to rest.
