Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Zolpidem is a benzodiazepine receptor agonist that exerts its effects by facilitating GABA effects. Serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are not involved.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Caffeine causes increased sleep latency, decreased total sleep time, and decreased REM sleep. It does not affect slow-wave sleep.
