Interventions

Sleep and circadian rhythm promotionbehavioral

This multifaceted intervention attempts to enhance sleep and circadian rhythmicity through improved scheduling of nursing procedures, enforcement of a day/night routine, increased light exposure during the day, and decreased light and sound exposure during the night. The intervention began the morning after enrollment and enforced a specific period of enhanced light exposure from 9:00 a.m. to noon. The initial target of 5,000 lux administered by light box (Sunsation, SunBox Co.) was reduced to 400-700 lux after the first 10 subjects were enrolled in the study.
