The techniques of measuring and the evaluation of sleep quantity and quality are a great challenge in the ICU setting.

Treatment approaches to improve the critically ill patient’s sleep have focused on non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic strategies with some promising results.

Being aware and knowing of sleep problems and the beneficial effect of the necessary therapies in ICU patients requires greater acceptance.
