On the unfortunate days when I have to wake up at 4 a. M. , I'm a zombie. Functionally useless. I can't think straight, I'm irritable, and I probably shouldn't be driving a car. But this is how many American teenagers feel every single school day. The speaker uses this reasoning to support her claim that too little sleep affects a teen negatively. How sound is her reasoning?

A. The reasoning is unsound, because the speaker's experiences with lack of sleep are much different from a teen's experiences. B. The reasoning is sound, because the speaker explains the situations she encounters with her teenage kids each day. C. The reasoning is sound because the speaker uses real-life experiences to explain the effects of lack of sleep in teens. D. The reasoning is unsound because the speaker's real-life experiences should not be used to support a claim

Definitely not B or D. A is out of the question too, so I think it's C
