I haven't yet found this distinction set out on Kwiziq, but on lawlessfrench.com we can compare the different treatment as between things and people on these two pages:

gender of fatiguee

Je lirai jusqu'à ce que je sois trop fatiguée. Why is fatiguee feminine. Do you know something about the reader that we don't, or am i missing something?

confusion over s'attendre à ce que

I am currently reading a book, "Comment avoir une orthographe qui mène au succès", written by Pr Robert Tocquet. He claims s'attendre à ce que is not correct, rather it is a barbarism. Here is what he wrote: S'attendre, consentir à ce que. (S'attendre, consentir que.)
Il y a quatre verbes qui se construisent avec que (et non à ce que) : aimer, s’attendre, consentir et demander.

You can download for free a copy of this great book here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4bdN-sQj8mOU1ZSYXB0aGVSVDQ/edit

However, any comments from the Kwiziq community about this.

J'ai besoin DE temps pour réfléchir

I'm curious to know why it's not "J'ai besoin DU temps pour réfléchir" in this sentence? What happens to the definite article "le" for temps?
