Sleep disruption is common in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients and is often worsened by environmental noise and nighttime care activities. Poor sleep may negatively affect recovery and well-being. This single-center, three-arm randomized controlled trial will evaluate the short-term effects of two non-pharmacological interventions-(1) pink-brown noise masking and (2) a quiet time intervention-on objective sleep parameters in adult ICU patients, compared with standard care. Sleep outcomes will be measured using actigraphy-based wearable monitoring, including total sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, and number of awakenings. Results are expected to support evidence-based nursing approaches to improve sleep in ICU patients.
