Association between sleep duration and functional disability in inpatient stroke rehabilitation: A pilot observational study

But do sleeping pills create good sleep? They were regularly handed out at 10 pm. Almost every morning at 7am the vampires came in to draw blood from someone in the quad.  Obviously on the clinical staff schedule, damn what the sleep needs are of the patients.

Abstract: 

Study examined the change in sleep duration during inpatient rehabilitation and determined if sleep quality and sleep duration are associated with functional disability for individuals after stroke. It was hypothesized that participants who experienced optimal sleep during inpatient rehabilitation would have greater functional ability at discharge. Thirty-seven individuals with acute stroke were invited to participate in the study by clinical personnel associated with their usual care as they were admitted to inpatient rehabilitation. Participants were asked to wear an actigraph for the duration of their rehabilitation program to assess sleep. The first 3 nights of actigraphy data were averaged to obtain total sleep time (TST) and sleep efficiency (SE) at admission, and the last 3 nights were averaged for TST and SE at discharge. The primary outcome, functional disability measured by the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at admission and discharge, was gathered from the participants’ medical records. One-way analysis of variance and chi-square analyses assessed for group differences, and regression modeling was used to determine if sleep was associated with functional ability at discharge. Sixteen participants (43 percent) were categorized as “good sleepers” and 21 (57 percent) were “poor sleepers” based on their TST at admission. Of the poor sleepers, 14 participants (66 percent) remained short duration sleepers (<7 hours at admission and discharge). Sleep outcomes did not significantly predict the FIM score at discharge.
