Women who are married sleep more soundly than women who have never married or lost a partner, according to research from an eight-year study. Furthermore, it is well established that sleeping less than six hours a night makes you 12% more likely to die prematurely than someone who sleeps up to eight hours. Therefore, getting married increases a woman's life expectancy.

Which of the following, if true, does NOT strengthen the argument above?

A. Populations with lower odds of premature death have higher life expectancies.

B. Getting married does not lead to oversleep.

C. Marriage may introduce lifespan-shortening factors into a woman's life, but these factors tend to be collectively of less consequence than the benefit of sounder sleep.

D. Not sleeping soundly is the key reason women who cannot sleep at least eight hours a night fail to do so.

E. The psychology of women who marry is, on average, more conducive to sound sleep than that of women who have never married or lost a partner.
