Abstract

This paper examines a pilot study analysing sleep in nursing care settings. Sleep aids recovery, and affects the quality of life of older people in care settings. Issues are raised about the sleep measurement for research, and feasibility and rigour; new instruments are introduced; the value of self-reported and observed sleep data is discussed and recommendations are made.
