00:01 A few reminders to remember about sleep. 00:03 Our good sleep patterns help support a patient's overall health, well-being and holistic care. 00:10 Now, don't forget, as a nurse, that physical illness many times can help disturb our sleep patterns. 00:16 In the worst sleep we have, that can also contribute to other declining health issues. 00:22 Now, just know that sleep requirements are going to vary depending on our age. 00:26 Typically, the older we get, the less sleep we may need but this is going to be individual And sleep should be promoted by nursing to encourage optimal health. 00:36 So I know this may be very difficult in an acute care facility, for example, but as a nurse, do what you can to help promote sleep and rest for your patient. 00:45 Thanks for watching.
