Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Sixty percent of night shift workers have circadian rhythm sleep disorder. Depression (option 1), breathing problems (option 2), and drinking (option 3) indicate other types of sleep disturbance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
OSA is not related to melatonin insufficiency, dreaming, or a particular sleep position.
