Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sertraline (Zoloft) is an SSRI antidepressant medication, which suppresses REM sleep. Dreams would decrease because they occur during REM. Benzodiazepines reduce slow-wave sleep. SSRIs have a side effect of insomnia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Electroencephalogra m (EEG) measures NREM and REM sleep. The distracters represent ways to diagnose structural and metabolic problems.
