Answer to Question 1

A
A bedtime snack containing protein and carbohydrates such as cereal and milk or cheese and crackers, which contain L-tryptophan, may help to promote sleep. A full meal before bedtime often causes gastrointestinal upset and interferes with the ability to fall asleep. Coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate cause a person to stay awake or wake up throughout the night.

Answer to Question 2

D
Although mothers head 83 of single-parent families, father-only families are on the rise. The number of single-parent families appears to be stabilizing at about 26 of all families with children. Forty-one percent of children are living with mothers who have never married; many of these children result from an adolescent pregnancy.
