Abstract
Peak noise was not the main determinant of sleep disruption from ICU noise. Mixed frequency white noise increases arousal thresholds in normal individuals exposed to recorded ICU noise by reducing the difference between background noise and peak noise.

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineAbnormal Sleep/Wake Cycles and the Effect of Environmental Noise on Sleep Disruption in the Intensive Care Unit
695 Citations2001Neil Freedman, Joost Alexander Christiaan Gazendam +3 more
ICU patients are qualitatively, but not necessarily quantitatively, sleep deprived; and although environmental noise is in part responsible for sleep-wake abnormalities, it is not responsible for the majority of the sleep fragmentation and may therefore not be as disruptive to sleep as the previous literature suggests.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineContribution of the Intensive Care Unit Environment to Sleep Disruption in Mechanically Ventilated Patients and Healthy Subjects
534 Citations2003Jonathan Y. Gabor, Andrew Cooper +5 more
The data indicate that noise and patient-care activities account for less than 30% of arousals and awakenings and suggest that other elements of the critically ill patient's environment or treatment should be investigated in the pathogenesis of ICU sleep disruption.

Sleep, as it is conventionally measured, was identified only in a subgroup of critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation and was severely disrupted.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care MedicinePatient Perception of Sleep Quality and Etiology of Sleep Disruption in the Intensive Care Unit
431 Citations1999Neil Freedman, Natalie Kotzer +1 more
Poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness are problems common to all types of ICUs, and affect a broad spectrum of patients, and the environmental etiologies of sleep disruption in the ICU are multifactorial.

The grossly abnormal sleep pattern observed in patients after major non-cardiac surgery may suggest some fundamental disarrangement of the sleep-wake regulating mechanism.

In conclusion, inspiratory assistance from pressure support causes hypocapnia, which combined with the lack of a backup rate and wakefulness drive can lead to central apneas and sleep fragmentation, especially in patients with heart failure.
CHEST JournalAdverse Environmental Conditions in the Respiratory and Medical ICU Settings
257 Citations1994Thomas J. Meyer, Scott E. Eveloff +4 more
The potential for environmentally induced sleep disruption is high in all areas, but especially high in the intensive and respiratory care areas where the negative consequences may be the most severe.

239 Citations1966Allan Rechtschaffen, Peter Hauri +1 more
A modification of the method of constant stimuli was used in an apparently successful attempt to minimize the incorporation of the experimental stimuli into the mental activity of the sleeper, and the possible physiological determinants of the awakening response were discussed.

It is concluded that environmental noise may be an important cause of sleep disruption in the intensive and intermediate respiratory care unit (IRCU) areas, even at night.

156 Citations1978Roger Broughton, Robert Baron
Significant differences in nocturnal sleep patterns from matched controls initially after infarction included greater wakefulness, low REM sleep per cent, long REM latency, fewer REM periods, more awakenings, more stage shifts and decreased sleep efficiency.

148 Citations2003C. Formby, LaGuinn Sherlock +1 more
It is shown after continuous, 2-week earplugging and low-level noise treatments that listeners become more and less sensitive to the loudness of sounds, consistent with modification of a theoretical gain control process.

136 Citations1984Harold Zepelin, C. S. McDonald +1 more
There was a significant and substantial AAT decline from early adulthood to later life in Sleep Stages 4, 2, and REM, which helps to explain increased sleep disturbance in the later years as a result of diminished intensity of sleep, which makes sleep more difficult to sustain.
American Journal of Critical CareThe effect of earplugs on sleep measures during exposure to simulated intensive care unit noise
130 Citations1999C. Jane Wallace, Joseph H. Robins +2 more
Earplugs worn during exposure to the noise produced a significant decrease in rapid eye movement latency and an increase in the percentage of rapid eye movements sleep, providing a reasonable basis for testing the effects of earplugs on the sleep of critically ill subjects.

It is concluded that patients undergoining open heart surgery experience both acute and chronic disruptions of sleep that last well beyond the hospital period of convalescence and have considerable relevance for postoperative management.
SLEEPAutonomic Consequences of Arousal From Sleep: Mechanisms and Implications
85 Citations1996Richard L. Horner
Some of the mechanisms underlying the cardio-respiratory consequences of arousal from sleep, and why the normal onset of wakefulness may be associated with such large changes in autonomic output are discussed.

Results from several studies are combined to show that when EPNdB units are used as the measure of noise intensity, the correlation coefficient between intensity and the probability of no disturbance of sleep is −0.86.

Auditory evoked potentials were recorded during wakefulness, Stage 1, and Stage 2 non-REM sleep using a three-tone auditory oddball paradigm and there was no evidence of any enhancement to relevant rare stimuli compared with irrelevant rare stimuli.

42 Citations1992Carrie Knapp-Spooner, Adela Yarcheski
The hypothesis that sleep disturbances in patients having open-heart surgery are related to psychologic stress associated with illness was not supported and additional analyses indicated that hospital and illness-related stress, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, anesthesia time, and sleep medication were related to patients' sleep disturbance, effectiveness, or supplementation in different ways and at different times during the study periods.

P300 latency is affected by background noise, even when performance is not, but amplitude and amplitude topography remain unaffected, and P300 scalp topography was stable across both conditions.

The present results suggest that recuperative processes after sleep deprivation are also associated with a higher sleep continuity as defined by the reduction of EEG arousals.
