Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: In order to be diagnosed with shift worker disorder, the individual must not meet the criteria for any other sleep circadian-rhythm or insomnia disorder and be absent of any medical or mental condition that might account for the symptoms. The amount of sleep lost is not a factor diagnosing the disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 4
Explanation: Individuals who experience chronic insomnia often spend more time in bed, hoping sleep will come. They do other activities in bed (other than sleep and sex) such as watching television, reading, or paying bills. They may take hot showers or baths at bedtime, trying to relax. They do not generally try to stay up late. They often avoid spending time with others and may become socially isolated.
