Answer to Question 1

C
Studies show that with depression, REM sleep is excessive, the deeper stages of sleep are decreased, and dreams may be unusually intense, leading to patient reports of fatigue, poor concentration, and irritability associated with sleep deprivation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Asylums were large public institutions that were to promote human and rational methods of treatment of people who were mentally ill. They were self-sufficient communities. Everything for daily living was available on the grounds of the institution. This included laundry services, cooking facilities, and so on.
