Sound/Enough sleep can not only keep you sober but also make you energetic.

 

Hi,

Do both sound and enough fit in the above and mean pretty much the same to you? Thanks.

sound has to do with the quality of sleep.  enough has to do with the amount of sleep.  So they don't mean the same to me.

Hi,

'Sober' seems like an odd word to use here. It has a number of meanings, but the most common are, I think, 'not drunk' and 'serious'.

Best wishes, Clive

Clive has a good point. I believe the right word is awake. Maybe Clive can come up with a couple of better words.

Hi,

Actually, I'm not sure what the writer was trying to say.

My interpretation is

Having enough sleep not only keeps you awake during the day but also reenergize your body
