Answer to Question 2

C
The ascending reticular activating system (RAS) located in the upper brain stem is believed to contain special cells that maintain alertness and wakefulness.
Circadian rhythms are cyclical rhythms that are part of everyday life. The most familiar rhythm is the 24-hour daynight cycle known as the diurnal or circadian rhythm. It is not longer than 24 hours.
Non-rapid eye movement refers to the sleep cycle that most clients experience in a low-stimulus environment.
The bulbar synchronizing region is the area of the brain where serotonin is released to produce sleep. It is not responsible for REM sleep.
