Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Breathing-related disorders such as OSA may cause alterations in glucose metabolism. Untreated OSA causes hypertension, not hypotension. Hypnogogic hallucinations occur in narcolepsy. Acute renal failure is not a direct symptom of any sleep-wake disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Breathing-related disorders, such as periodic apnea, are often found in patients who are obese and have hypertension. Hypersomnolence is generally observed during hours when the individual should be awake. Periodic limb movements may be associated with restless leg syndrome and are not associated with obesity or hypertension.
