Hospitals looking for ways to get patients better sleep

An article in today's USA Today discusses the growing concern, and body of research, that finds patients in hospitals, particularly in intensive care units where glaring lights and beeping monitors can make sleep extremely difficult, are not recovering as well as they could. The article cites studies in a 2005 review article in Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America and a January, 2008 issue of Nursing Critical Care.
