Better Sleep Care for Critically Ill Patients in ICU
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.

This study tests a sleep-promoting program for patients recovering from surgery in the ICU. It aims to help you sleep better, which might speed healing and improve your hospital experience.
This study tests a nurse-led program to reduce stress and improve sleep quality for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to make the ICU environment less stressful, which may help you feel more rested and less anxious.
This trial tests whether playing a gentle, low-frequency sound called pink noise or making the ICU quieter at night can help intensive care patients sleep better.
This trial tests whether controlled bright light in the ICU can improve confusion and the sleep-wake rhythm in adults who develop delirium. If it works, it may help patients become more clear-minded sooner while they recover in intensive care.
This study tests a “sleep chronobundle,” a set of sleep and light-timing steps, to improve daily sleep-wake timing in people in the ICU on breathing or blood-pressure support. It also checks whether the body’s sleep rhythms are more aligned during critical illness and over time.
This trial tests whether a sleep medication called lormetazepam can improve sleep quality and brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. It may help if you need sedation and are expected to stay in the ICU for at least two days.
