How sleep loss affects nutrition in intensive care patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how lack of sleep in the intensive care unit (ICU) might affect patients' nutrition. Understanding this may help improve how we support your nutrition during your stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are expected to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 5 days.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney failure.
- You do not have severe malnutrition when you are admitted to the ICU (for example, a body mass index below 18.5 or recent weight loss of more than 10% in the past 6 months).
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease (a condition affecting your nerves and muscles) that could affect how your body uses energy.

This study tracks how sleep in intensive care unit (ICU) patients changes over time. The goal is to better understand sleep patterns to help improve care and recovery for critically ill patients.
This study tests whether a team of ICU doctors and nurses can work together to improve sleep for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to help patients rest better during their hospital stay.
This trial studies whether planned overnight nutrition (through a feeding tube) can reduce sleep problems and daily body-clock disruption while you’re in the ICU after certain heart surgery. It may help you get more restful sleep and better regular “wake–sleep” timing during recovery.
This study looks at how nutrition is given to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand current practices and may help improve care for future patients.
This study looks at whether providing nutrition support to hospitalized patients improves their recovery and is worth the cost. If you are staying in the hospital overnight, this study may help you get better nutritional care.
This study tests whether personalized nighttime nursing care can improve sleep quality and health outcomes for conscious patients in the intensive care unit. Researchers believe better sleep may help patients recover faster and have better long-term health.
