Comments on "A narrative review of interventions for improving sleep and reducing circadian disruption in medical inpatients"

We have read with interest the article by Tan et al., entitled “A narrative review of interventions for improving sleep and reducing circadian disruption in medical inpatients” published in Sleep Medicine [1]. The authors addressed the frequently observed problem of sleep and circadian rhythm disruption in hospitalized patients and discussed how patient cha racteristics, hospital routines and hospital environment contribute to sleep and circadian rhythm disruption in patients. In their narrative review, the authors discussed the key role of patient characteristics such as sleep disorders, hospital routines (eg, pain management and medication timing), a nd hospital environmental factors (eg, light and noise in management of sleep and preventing disruption of circadian rhythm in patients).
