Ans: A

Hypersomnia is a condition characterized by excessive sleep, particularly during the day. Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, intermittent sleep, or early awakening from sleep. Parasomnias are patterns of waking behavior that appear during sleep. Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person experiences the absence of breathing, or diminished breathing efforts, during sleep (between snoring intervals).
