Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Bright lights during the day support normal circadian rhythm. Environmental temperature control and privacy are important but do not affect circadian rhythm.

ANS: A, C, D, E
Taking a cool bath or shower will not promote relaxation. All other options listed would encourage sleep.
