A

The nurse should ask the client if he consumes alcohol before bedtime, because alcohol reduces normal REM and deep sleep stages of NREM sleep. As alcohol is metabolized, stimulating chemicals that were blocked by the sedative effects of the alcohol surge forth from neurons, causing early awakening.
