Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Stimulus control involves using the bedroom for sleep and sex only. If not asleep within 15 to 20 minutes, the person should leave the room and return only when he or she feels sleepy. Getting up at the same time every day is also recommended.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Snoring is caused by an obstruction to airflow through the nose and mouth. When snoring changes from the characteristic sawing wood sound to a more irregular silence followed by a snort, this indicates obstructive apnea.
