Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Chocolate is a stimulant, and could reduce the child's ability to fall asleep.
Rationale 2: Preschool children wake up frequently at night, and they might be afraid of the dark or experience night terrors or nightmares. Often, limiting or eliminating TV will reduce the number of nightmares.
Rationale 3: Physical activity is a stimulant, and could reduce the child's ability to fall asleep.
Rationale 4: Playing a computer game is a stimulant, and could reduce the child's ability to fall asleep or cause an increase in nightmares.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The need to urinate during the night disrupts sleep, and people who awaken at night to urinate sometimes have difficulty getting back to sleep.
Rationale 2: Caffeinated beverages and alcohol are stimulants that influence sleep.
Rationale 3: Body weight and the use of beverages that contain l-tryptophan are dietary influences of sleep.
Rationale 4: Hours of work, activity, and exercise are lifestyle influences of sleep.
