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 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 study tests whether giving melatonin, a natural sleep aid, can improve sleep quality for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you are awake and can take medicine by mouth, this might help you rest better during your hospital stay.
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 changing the light in a hospital room can improve sleep and help your body clock work better in older adults. It may be most helpful if sleep problems or irregular daily rhythms are affecting you in the hospital.
This study tests whether a special sleep-promoting program can help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery sleep better. If you or a loved one are recovering from surgery in the ICU, this program might improve sleep quality and recovery.
