Experimental: MMSH (Multi-Modal Sleep Hygiene) Bundle

We will implement an MMSH bundle, enhancing a previously reported sleep focused intervention, in order to increase quality/quantity of sleep during Z-time (i.e., 10pm to 5am) in our intervention units, subsequently mitigating the burden of delirium in hospitalized older adults. Our proposed intervention domains perfectly align with the expressed patient suggestions to improve patient experience. Sleep disruption issues were raised at similar rates across the age span suggesting our MMSH will positively impact patients of all ages, including those with lower risk of delirium. The intervention components are outlined below and a comparison to the current standard of care and the components that are relevant to the fidelity aspects of the study are highlighted in the table. The main focus of the sleep interventions will focus on Noise, Light, Staff-Patient Interactions, Daytime Activity and Medications.
