ABSTRACT
The purpose of this report is to summarize data from a sample of 230 residents in eight nursing homes (NHs) that are relevant to the development of environmental and behavioral interventions for sleep. Four conclusions can be drawn (1) there is strong evidence that the nighttime sleep of these residents was adversely affected by environmental noise and light; (2) residents appear to spend substantial time in bed and sleeping during the day; (3) there are significant differences between some homes in the amount of time that residents spend in bed and sleeping during the day, as well as the frequency of nighttime awakenings associated with environmental events; and (4) residents' preference and nighttime noise source data suggest that a multifaceted intervention to improve sleep hygiene could successfully implemented in the NH setting. An intervention addressing these issues may result in improved sleep and overall well-being for a substantial portion of the NH population.
