jerry is in the process of getting a divorce and is having trouble at his job. previously he had not had any sleep disorders but is bothered by one now. lately he has experienced serious difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. which disorder has jerry most likely developed?

○ somnambulism

○ narcolepsy

○ insomnia

○ somniloquy

Explanation:

• Somnambulism is sleepwalking, not related to difficulty falling/staying asleep.
• Narcolepsy involves excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks, not difficulty sleeping.
• Insomnia is defined as persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, which matches Jerry’s symptoms (divorce and job trouble as stressors leading to new sleep issues).
• Somniloquy is sleep talking, not related to sleep onset/maintenance.

Answer:

C. insomnia
