Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Anna's symptoms of not being able to sleep for more than five hours at a time, despite previously getting eight hours of sleep, and waking early without being able to fall back asleep, are indicative of insomnia. Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both, leading to insufficient or non-restorative sleep.
