The participants tested their memory and cognition based on sleep habits and accounted for factors such as age, race, gender, and education. Quiz Answer The correct answer is A. Dry or sore throat in the morning. Waking up with a dry or sore throat is a common symptom of sleep apnea, often caused by breathing through the mouth or snoring during the night, which can irritate the throat.
