In the hospital setting, poor sleep and delirium are associated with adverse outcomes; non-pharmacological interventions are recommended, but tend to be resource intensive and hindered by a lack of reliable sleep measurement tools. Over the past two decades, delirium, in particular in older adults (≥ 65 years old) hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs), has gained substantial attention as a common and major health problem. For example, poor hospital sleep quality is believed to hinder participation in self-care and rehabilitation activities during post-illness recovery [58] , increasing older adults' risk of falls, functional impairment, institutionalization, and early death. Data are also mixed regarding specific nonpharmacologic sleep promoting interventions in non-ICU hospitalized patients, as noted in a recent systematic review of 13 studies.	./cache/cord-029770-72ncfyc5.txt	./txt/cord-029770-72ncfyc5.txt
