CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P opens with the main idea. Q is the first tip, for the early evening.
S is "later", an hour before bed, and R says "then", the last step before sleep.
So the order is PQSR.
Worth noting
QPSR opens with a tip before the paragraph has said what the tips are for.
