This statement is false. An 'overrated (tennis player)' is one who is not as good as everyone says he is. To say that sleep is 'overrated' is to say that it is not as important as everyone says it is, and this is not what scientists and experts are saying.
This statement is false. As a general rule, children need more sleep than adults, according to the last paragraph of this article. This article states that 'sleep needs vary from person to person, and change throughout the lifecycle'
This is a true statement and one of the main points of this article. 'A lack (of energy)' describes an absence of energy. The author of this article writes about research which has shown that not sleeping enough can have negative effects on one's health, such as increased blood pressure and heart disease.

1 expensive: The term "trendy" is unrelated to price, but to popularity.
1 crowded: A "crowded" place is full of people, making movement difficult. The term Philip uses to describe the restaurant, "trendy", is unrelated to the number of people that were there.
1 delicious: The term Philip uses to describe the restaurant, "trendy", is unrelated to the taste of the food that is served there.
2 expensive: Kevin repeats over and over again that he thinks that the restaurant "SakeBomb" is very expensive. He uses the terms "pricey" and "costly", which are synonymous with "expensive".
2 tasty: The terms Kevin uses, "costly" and "pricey", are unrelated to "taste" or "flavor". A "tasty (meal)" is "flavorful" or "delicious".
2 overrated: The terms Kevin uses, "costly" and "pricey", are unrelated to the "rating" or "reputation" of a restaurant. An "overrated (restaurant)" is one which is not as good as people (critics, customers) say it is.
2 popular: The terms Kevin uses, "costly" and "pricey", are unrelated to the "popularity" of a restaurant.
