Excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden falls are common symptoms of narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by sudden and uncontrollable episodes of sleep. Parasomnia refers to abnormal behaviors during sleep, such as sleepwalking or night terrors. REM rebound occurs when there is an increase in the amount and intensity of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep after a period of sleep deprivation, while sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep.

Heroin addiction has been treated with _____________.&#10;A)morphine&#10;B)LSD&#10;C)methadone&#10;D)amphetamines

Accepted Answer

Methadone is a medication used for the treatment of opioid addiction, including heroin addiction. It works by binding to the same opioid receptors in the brain that heroin does, but produces less of a euphoric effect and reduces withdrawal symptoms. Morphine and amphetamines are not typically used for heroin addiction treatment, and there is no evidence to suggest that LSD is effective in treating any substance use disorders.
