Abstract
Adequate sleep is important for children experiencing critical illnesses that require hospitalization by fostering protein synthesis and tissue repair mechanisms. Frequent disruptions to inpatient pediatric sleep are harmful to both patients and families, particularly when recovering from surgical interventions. Proposed recommendations include a joint non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic approach.
