Pam has suffered from insomnia for the last few years and it really affects her everyday life. However, Pam's husband Jim claims that Pam is exaggerating and that she sleeps every night and often even snores! To prove he's right (and to help his wife), Jim asks Pam to go to a sleep clinic to test her insomnia. Jim, on the other hand, is a sleeper who routinely gets at least nine hours of sleep at night.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sleep state misperception refers to the phenomenon where individuals with insomnia tend to overestimate the extent of their sleep problems, believing that they have slept less than they actually have. As such, it is likely that Pam will struggle to fall asleep initially due to the novelty of the situation, but eventually, she will start to exhibit sleep patterns that show she does indeed have trouble sleeping. Therefore, Option D is the best answer.
