Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, E
More time in bed does not mean more time sleeping. Partitions can increase the sleeping privacy of residents; bright lights at night interfere with sleep but are helpful during the day. Temperature that is too hot or too cold interferes with sleep.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Factors associated with increased risk for obstructive sleep apnea include obesity, diabetes, stroke, Parkinson disease, congestive heart failure, genetic predisposition, craniofacial anatomic features, and the use of alcohol or medications that depress the respiratory center.
