The Correct Answer is AGetting up at the same time every day stabilizes the sleep-wake schedule and improves the restfulness of actual sleep in bed. Daytime drowsiness, excessive snoring, and confusion when awakened are associated with sleep apnea. Insomnia is more prevalent among the elderly and is associated with depression. Hypnotics should be prescribed only for short-term use.
