Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Exercise should be avoided within 2 hours of bedtime because activity increases the metabolic rate and may interfere with sleep.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
REM sleep disorders excite excessive muscle activity during a nightmare, which causes the patient to thrash about to the point that he or she falls out of bed.
