Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
By the end of the first year, the infant sleeps 14 to 15 hours per day, with most sleep at night and one or two naps during the day. During the preschool years, children may stop napping. Normally, all sleep occurs during the night. As children move through their school years into their teens, total daily sleep time gradually declines from approximately 10 to 7 to 8 hours by the end of adolescence.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Sleep disturbances may result from changes in exogenous factors, such as night work or changes in time zones associated with airplane travel. The outcome of these changes is displacement of sleep periods to times of the day that are not part of the person's typical sleep pattern. A person whose work schedule takes place consistently during the night is less likely to experience sleep difficulties than is someone who experiences a sudden change in time zones.
