Answer 1

Answer:

The patient is having insomnia as he has exposed himself to excessive noise.

Explanation:

• Excessively loud music is a type of noise that can cause sleep disorders.
• The person often become restless and is unable to sleep.
• This is due to the secretion of the stress hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone.
• This hormone is released from the pituitary gland's anterior region.
• It induces the secretion of cortisol which is a steroid hormone by the adrenal gland's cortex region.
• This hormone cortisol is responsible for sleeplessness.
• In normal condition, during sleep the level of the cortisol hormone in blood remains low.
