Performing a back massage can help relax the patient and potentially improve their ability to fall asleep. Offering hot tea or administering an analgesic may not directly address the root cause of the patient's insomnia, and encouraging ambulation may have the opposite effect of stimulating the patient and making it more difficult to sleep.
