Final Answer :
A, B, E
Explanation :
Sleep can be disrupted by caffeine, a CNS stimulant, exercise performed just before trying to sleep, and eating a heavy meal before retiring. Reading the newspaper is not likely to be so stimulating that it disrupts the patient's ability to sleep. Television will be disruptive to sleep.
