The importance of sleep to overall wellness and physiological homeostasis has been increasingly appreciated. For critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting, physiological disruptions are common, highlighting sleep as an important factor in this vulnerable population. In this chapter, we review existing literature on sleep in the ICU and provide ideas for future research. After providing an overview of sleep in healthy and critically ill patients, we review tools to mea­sure sleep and causes of sleep disruption in the ICU.We also highlight the impact of sleep disruption on two systems that are essential to recovery: the immune sys­tem and brain.

Sleep Patterns intheICU
Sleep inHealthy Adults
An understanding of sleep in healthy adults (summarized in greater detail in other chapters of this book) is necessary to appreciate the sleep experienced by criti­cally ill patients. In healthy adults, sleep architecture—as measured using poly­somnography (PSG)—is divided into non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, comprised of N1 (2–5% of total sleep time), N2 (45–55%), and N3 (3–15%), and REM (20–25%). Sleep onset usually occurs within 10–20minutes, and the rst REM period usually begins 90–120minutes into sleep. In healthy adults, total consolidated nightly sleep time is usually 7–9hours. Arousals occur roughly ten times per hour (even in normal individuals), although higher gures have been reported [1–3].
The drive to sleep is primarily governed by two factors: homeostatic and cir­cadian. The homeostatic drive refers to the impact of antecedent sleep depriva­tion on the urge to sleep, i.e., the longer an individual is awake, the more tired they get and more pressure to sleep. The circadian drive is based on an endoge­nous body clock, which increases or decreases the propensity to sleep during the 24-hourday.
The importance of circadian rhythms has been well established in health and in disease, as the circadian system—consisting of a central oscillator and periph­eral “clocks”—can affect cells in nearly every vital organ system [4]. The clinical relevance of the circadian system is represented by the disproportionate number of myocardial infarctions and ischemic strokes that occur in the morning and asthma ares that occur at night [5–7]. Sleep-wake coordination, rest-activity maintenance, light-dark exposure, feeding timing, and social interactions follow a circadian pattern and are modiable factors for circadian rhythm align­ment [8, 9].
Sleep inCritically Ill Patients
In contrast to healthy adults, sleep in critically ill patients is characterized by low total sleep time (~5hr) and interruption of the normal diurnal pattern, with approxi­mately 50% of sleep occurring during daytime hours [10–14]. Critically ill patients undergoing polysomnography (PSG) have been shown to experience mostly N1 and N2 sleep, with notably reduced or absent slow-wave sleep (N3) and REM (Fig.19.1) [10–14]. Sleep in the ICU is also severely fragmented, with frequent interruptions and arousals resulting in discrete and frequent sleep episodes [10–14]. This sleep fragmentation was highlighted in a landmark study demonstrating that critically ill patients undergoing PSG experienced 41±28 sleep episodes each day, with each episode averaging 15±9minutes [15].

Sleep Measurement intheICU
Large-scale, accurate measurement of sleep in the ICU setting is challenging and represents a key barrier to efforts aimed at building knowledge in this area. Nevertheless, sleep measurement in the ICU is a topic of great interest motivating many prior and ongoing investigations.
Polysomnography
In the ICU setting, PSG is cumbersome and expensive; furthermore, it is not feasi­ble to perform for longer than 24hours [13]. Additionally, interpretation of the PSG differs substantially when comparing prototypical critically ill patients with com­munity-dwelling adults [16]. For example, while N2 sleep is characterized by sleep spindles, benzodiazepines—sedative medications commonly used in the ICU—can produce spindles on EEG that are qualitatively similar but functionally different than those occurring during natural sleep. Thus, the N2 designation in the ICU can be problematic due to its inability to discriminate between natural and benzodiaze­pine-induced N2. Similarly, N3 (slow-wave) sleep is characterized by delta activity, a brain wave pattern also resembling that seen in ICU patients experiencing enceph­alopathy, i.e., diffuse slowing [14, 17, 18]. Finally, submentalis electromyography
434

(EMG), which is commonly used for sleep staging (e.g., REM vs. NREM), can be affected in the ICU setting by paralytics or comorbidities.
While ICU-based efforts to dene new criteria for sleep staging of PSG record­ings are ongoing, no major consensus has been reached [16]. As a result, efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of sleep interventions remain hampered by difculties in assessing sleep, e.g., scoring sleep according to conventional methods.

Actigraphy
Actigraphy involves accelerometry, often via a wristwatch-like device, to evaluate cycles of rest and activity. A decades-old technology, actigraphy has received recent attention for large-scale use in the ICU since it is inexpensive and well tolerated and can wirelessly capture continuous rest-activity data across daytime and nighttime periods [19–21]. Moreover, as demonstrated in nursing home and ICU survivor populations, actigraphic rest-activity data can be used to approximate circadian rhythm alignment [22, 23]. Despite these strengths, actigraphy is challenging in the ICU as critically ill patients are mostly inactive, resulting in overestimation of sleep using traditional scoring algorithms [19, 20, 24]. Moreover, actigraphy-based activ­ity monitoring can be confounded by common ICU factors such as sedating medica­tions, delirium, and staff interventions such as turning and bathing. Nevertheless, actigraphy is a promising method for capturing rest-activity rhythms in critically ill patients, especially if ICU-specic scoring algorithms are developed.
Subjective Measures
Subjective measurement of sleep is a practical, low-cost option for evaluating sleep at a large scale in the ICU.Currently, the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ), which involves a 5-item visual analogue scale (VAS), and the Verran/ Snyder-Halpern Sleep Scale [25, 26]—which involves a 14-item VAS—represent the most commonly used sleep questionnaires in the ICU [27–32]. The RCSQ is the only instrument validated against PSG [26, 33]. While easy to collect and inexpen­sive to use in the ICU setting, subjective instruments have inherent limitations, including recall bias and fatigue across repeated assessments. Notably, ICU staff may complete subjective instruments for patients with altered cognition and/or con­sciousness [28, 34, 35]; however these ratings tend to be overestimated [36]. Whether by observation or validated instruments, subjective sleep measurement in the ICU must be performed with caution.

Causes ofSleep Disruption intheICU
The nature of the ICU environment could be described as a “constant routine” in which noise, light, and biological stress occur 24/7. As such, critically ill patients are felt to experience substantial circadian rhythm disruption, but data are sparse to support the presence of circadian misalignment or the therapeutic benets of circa­dian rhythm entrainment in the ICU [4, 8, 9, 37, 38]. Several factors can contribute to disrupted sleep in critically ill patients, many of which are modiable (Fig.19.2). In theory, modulation of ambient light and noise, timing of food and medication administration (e.g., melatonin, ramelteon), as well as adjusting mechanical ventila­tion could inuence sleep-wake rhythms highlighting these factors as potential tar­gets for ICU-based interventions aimed at improving clinical outcomes [18, 39].
Noise
Noise, dened as an unpleasant, unwanted, and/or disruptive sound, is common in the ICU setting [40, 41]. Noises produced by people (e.g., staff, visitors), machines (e.g., ventilator alarms, IV pumps), or objects (e.g., doors, squeaky shoes) can

disrupt sleep [42, 43]. In the ICU, noise levels range from 55 to 65dB [15, 44–46] but often exceed 80dB, a level sufcient for sleep arousal [47]. In comparison, the Environmental Protection Agency recommends hospital noise levels average less than 35–45dB during the day and 30–35dB at night [48]. Some data suggest that absolute noise levels are less critical than sound-level changes [49]. Abrupt changes in noise level—for example, an IV pump alarming in an otherwise quiet room—are common in the ICU and may disrupt sleep more than constant background sounds. Additionally, recent studies have shown that the majority of noise in the ICU origi­nates from sources near the ears of the patient and is often due to staff conversations and nonessential alarms [42, 43]. As patients and survivors consistently report noise as a disruptive factor needing improvement [18, 50], efforts are needed to identify and minimize noise in the ICU.

Light
Despite suboptimal day-night light exposure in the ICU setting, critically ill patients generally report light to be less disruptive than other factors such as noise and care­based interactions [28, 51]. Nevertheless, mistimed, excessive, or inadequate envi­ronmental light exposure can affect sleep-wake rhythms. As described above and in other chapters, sleep-wake rhythms follow a circadian pattern, with the suprachias­matic nucleus (SCN) acting as a central 24-hour pacemaker. Light represents the strongest zeitgeber (environmental cues that entrain the central clock) for sleep­wake rhythms by regulating melatonin secretion from the SCN.Typically, retinal receptors receive early morning light, which signal the SCN to suppress melatonin secretion from the pineal gland. Melatonin levels accumulate in the early evening to promote sleep.
When compared to indoor light (~1000 lux), subjects exposed to natural light (>4000 lux) over longer durations have been shown to exhibit improved melatonin and sleep-wake rhythms [52]. Unfortunately, in the ICU setting, light levels range from 30 to 165 lux during the day, below the level needed to inhibit melatonin, and can rise as high as 1445 lux at night, above the level needed to suppress melatonin release [49, 53–57]. Light levels during bedside procedures have been shown to reach 10,000 lux [56]. Interestingly, independent of light exposure, impaired mela­tonin secretion has been observed in patients with sepsis [58] and delirium [59, 60], highlighting bright light exposure as a potentially important intervention in criti­cally ill patients [56]. Additionally, melatonin and melatonin-receptor agonists are receiving attention as part of ICU-based sleep-wake improvement efforts [61–66].
Care-Related Interactions
While vigilant monitoring is required in the ICU setting, in some circumstances excessive or poorly timed staff interactions can be deleterious. For example, hourly assessments may capture signs of deterioration early in an ICU course, but may
19 Sleep inCritical Illness

disrupt sleep once a patient achieves clinical stability. When surveyed, ICU patients report blood draws, vital signs, and nurse visits among the most disruptive factors, along with radiographs, baths, wound care, and suctioning and non-care-related interactions from family and visitors.
When quantied, ICU patients can experience up to 8 care-related interactions per hour while sleeping [67] and 50 across the night shift [68, 69]. When evaluated against PSG in one study, one out of every ve interactions resulted in a sleep arousal or awakening [12]. Hence, efforts to improve sleep should involve individu­alization of bedside interactions, consideration of nondisruptive technologies (e.g., devices with outside-of-the-room alarms and controls), and bundling of care [70,
71]. Vital to such efforts is multidisciplinary and staff engagement to develop inter-
ventions to minimize interactions and to evaluate their feasibility [72].
437
Medications
Via mechanisms including sympathetic activation, deliriogenicity, and drug-drug interactions, nearly every medication administered in the ICU can disrupt patient sleep (Table19.1). Notably, chronotherapy—treatments provided in the context of the body clock—is gaining interest, as data suggest that the timing of treatment may impact the safety and efcacy of various treatments [73]. For example, inhaled ste­roid use at 3pm has been shown to have similar efcacy to more frequent dosing [74]. Additionally, chemotherapy may be safer and more effective when adminis­tered at specic times [75]. Understanding and optimizing the timing of medica­tions in critically ill patients represents a compelling area of research, along with other common ICU practices such as enteral feeding and mechanical ventilation.
Mechanical Ventilation
While mechanical ventilation (MV) is a cornerstone of critical care, inappropriate patient-ventilator interactions can result in profound sleep disruption. In general, patients receiving mechanical ventilation report worse sleep quality compared to those not receiving MV, for various reasons including patient-ventilator dyssyn­chrony, endotracheal tube discomfort, alarms, and ventilator-related care interac­tions (i.e., suctioning) [51, 76, 77]. Additionally, small studies in patients receiving MV suggest that spontaneous modes such as pressure support (PSV) may inhibit sleep by inducing central apneas from intermittent bursts of excessive support [78]. Controlled modes of ventilation, such as volume control (VC), pressure control (PC), and proportional assist ventilation (PAV), may be better for sleep, in particular PAV via matching of driving pressure with patient effort [79]. However, one study involving clinician-adjusted PSV [80] and another involving addition of dead space to the ventilator circuit in patients receiving PSV [81] demonstrated improvement in central apneas and associated sleep disruption as compared to PSV alone, suggest­ing that individualized instead of “one size ts all” approaches are vital for

hunger, shortening inspiratory time to prevent double triggering, and minimizing sleep-disrupting sedative medications. Additionally, modes such as neurally adjusted ventilator assist (NAVA), which involves neuromechanical coupling to pro­mote patient-ventilator synchrony, may also be considered [82]. While the 2018 Clinical Practice Guidelines for Pain, Agitation/Sedation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep Disruption (PADIS) conditionally recommend controlled ventilation modes for sleep at night, large multi-site studies are needed to ll substantial knowl­edge gaps [83].
Sleep, Immunity, andCognition inCritically Ill Patients
Sleep disruption can have a profound effect on nearly every major organ system, thus impeding recovery for critically ill patients (Fig. 19.3). The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased attention toward critical care, specically highlighting the poor sleep patients experience in the ICU setting [84] and its pos­sible association with immune dysfunction [85] and—in the context of delirium and dementia—cognitive dysfunction [86, 87]. As a summary of the multi-organ effects of sleep disruption would be beyond the scope of this chapter, this section instead will focus specically on the role of sleep disruption on immune and cognition function in critically ill patients.

Sleep andImmunity
Adequate sleep is critical to immune function (Fig.19.3). Outside of the ICU, clini­cians and researchers observed the development of respiratory infections as a con­sequence of sleep deprivation, which has more recently been supported by high-quality studies. First, a rhinovirus inoculation study in healthy human volun­teers observed a higher rate of infection in subjects obtaining 7hours or less of sleep, as compared to rested controls [88]. Second, in large epidemiological cohorts, reported sleep duration of 5 hours—as compared to matched controls obtaining 7–8hours of sleep—has been associated with an increased incidence of pneumonia [89] and upper respiratory tract infections [90]. Third, in response to inuenza [91,
92] and hepatitis vaccination [93, 94], a slowed peak in antibody levels has been
noted in those who are sleep deprived as compared to those obtaining adequate sleep. The ndings may suggest an adequate but delayed antigenic response due to sleep deprivation. Lastly, acute sleep deprivation in healthy individuals alters circu­lating cytokine levels [95] and the transcriptome relevant to immune function in blood cells [96, 97]. While these studies suggest that sleep disruption may alter humoral and cellular immunity, other studies suggest that chronic sleep disruption may exacerbate inammatory states such as atherosclerosis [98–100], metabolic syndrome [101–105], stroke [106, 107], and tumor immunity [108, 109] (Fig.19.3).
Reciprocally, infection also has an important relationship with sleep. Somnolence is a cardinal symptom of infection, and sleep is therefore considered an acute-phase compensatory response. In animal models, viral and bacterial infections, as well as the inoculation of pathogenic components (e.g., muramyl peptide, lipopolysaccha­ride), are sufcient to alter sleep [110]. In a series of studies in healthy volunteers, low doses of systemic endotoxin resulted in changes in sleep patterns on PSG, pro­longing NREM sleep while suppressing REM sleep [111]. Moreover, sleep is altered differentially depending on the timing and dosing of a septic challenge [112], highlighting the complex relationship between acute inammation and sleep. Indeed, the effect of sepsis on sleep architecture is likely inuenced by a complex combination of factors, including cytokines IL (interleukin)-1β, TNF (tumor necro­sis factor)-α, and prostaglandins [95].
In the ICU setting, the relationship between sleep disruption and immune func­tion is unclear and complicated by the ubiquity of sleep disruption and infection in critically ill patients. Research in animals has contributed valuable knowledge in this area. Sleep-deprived mice have a higher mortality after a septic challenge as compared to non-sleep-deprived controls [113–115], an observation that could be attributed to impaired pathogen clearance [114]. Furthermore, as the somnogenic effect of sepsis depends on a neuronal-specic isoform of IL1 receptor accessory protein, mice decient of this gene lacked the sleep response when given a septic challenge with inuenza and experienced higher mortality than controls [116]. Moreover, animals invariably died after 6–8weeks of chronic total sleep deprivation [117] and showed signs of bacterial infection before death [118]. While these stud­ies support the notion of compromised microbial defense as a consequence of sleep
