Once factors associated with sleep disturbance are identified, nurses can help individuals improve their sleep patterns by counseling them to follow several sleep hygiene or behavior guidelines (keeping a sleep diary, having a regular sleep-wake cycle, and making prudent dietary changes).Daytime napping, exercising within 1 h of bedtime, and taking a cool shower prior to bedtime will not promote nighttime sleep.In fact, such measures will have the opposite effect, making it more difficult to sleep at bedtime.Following a consistent sleep-wake cycle seven days a week will help establish a sleep pattern.
