Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Use the bedroom for sleep and sex only; do not watch television, read, study, or eat in there. A consistent bedtime routine signals to the mind and body that it is time to go to sleep. Maintaining a regular sleep pattern helps maintain circadian rhythms. Continue the regular sleep pattern on weekends and on holidays. Getting out of bed if unable to sleep trains the mind to sleep when in bed. If unable to fall asleep within 20 minutes, get out of bed and engage in a relaxing activity such as reading or listening to music until sleepy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Decreasing caffeine is helpful but does not need to be eliminated. Massaging the legs, walking, or doing deep knee bends may temporarily relieve symptoms. Supplements to correct deficiencies in iron, folate, and magnesium may be helpful.
