Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
A person with obstructive sleep apnea displays symptoms related to a narrowing of the upper airway, so option 2 is correct. Option 1 describes hypnagogic hallucinations, and option 3 de-scribes a type of insomnia. Option 4 might describe dreaming behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Nightmare disorder is often managed with psychotherapy and desensitization, so options 2 and 3 are incorrect. Obesity has not been connected to nightmare disorder, so option 4 is incorrect.
