Strategies to promote sleep for individuals in long term care and hospitals include allowing the resident to stay out of the bed and the room for as long as possible before bed, and not placing him/her in bed too early. Exposing individuals to sunlight for 30 minutes daily in a comfortable outdoor location is also helpful in promoting sleep. Limiting fluids and caffeine before bedtime is also helpful. Changing institutional routines to avoid waking residents for routine care and providing care when residents wake up are also successful strategies to promote sleep.
