About

We aim to test multiple interventions to improve sleep for Neurology inpatients, including 1) a sleep-friendly order set, and 2) a sleep menu. We will collect patient sleep data, including duration and quality, via actigraphy devices (FitBits). We will also conduct qualitative patient surveys to understand the impact of these interventions.
