Solution

The statement that is NOT true about sleep-wake homeostasis is: "Sleep drive dissipates after we wake from a night’s sleep."

This is not true because sleep drive does not completely dissipate after we wake from a night's sleep. Instead, it gradually decreases as we sleep and resets when we wake up, but it doesn't completely go away. This is why we still feel the need to sleep at night even after a full night's rest.
