Purpose
The goal of this project is to determine whether the sleep and circadian rhythms of critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation can be improved through practical strategies that can be employed at the bedside.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Circadian timing [ Time Frame: Day 3 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The magnitude of the phase change in 6-sulfatoxymelatonin excretion between Day 1 and Day 3 will be compared between the intervention and usual care groups.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Normal circadian timing [ Time Frame: Day 3 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The percentage of subjects who exhibit normal circadian timing of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin excretion on Day 3 will be compared between the intervention and usual care groups.
- Circadian amplitude [ Time Frame: Day 3 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The amplitude of the circadian rhythm of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin on Day 3 will be compared between the usual care and intervention groups.
- Spectral edge frequency 95% [ Time Frame: Day 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The difference between the polysomnographically derived daytime and nocturnal spectral edge frequency 95% parameter will be used as a measure of increased diurnal sleep/wake activity. This parameter will be compared between the usual care and intervention groups.
- Delirium [ Time Frame: Day 3 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The percentage of patients who are delirious at the conclusion at the study will be compared between the intervention and usual care groups.

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Sleep promotion protocol |
Behavioral: Sleep and circadian rhythm promotion
This multifaceted intervention will attempt to enhance sleep and circadian rhythmicity through improved scheduling of nursing procedures, enforcement of a day/night routine, increased light exposure during the day, and decreased light and sound exposure during the night. Supplemental bright lights and eyeshades and noise cancelling headphones will also be employed.

Detailed Description:
Nearly 1 million patients develop respiratory failure annually in the United States; yet, the sleep of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation has received little attention. This project is designed to characterize sleep and circadian rhythmicity in critically ill patients and to explore the efficacy of a non-pharmacological intervention to improve sleep and normalize circadian phase. The study will examine the effect of a protocol employing noise reduction and enforcement of a robust light-dark cycle on sleep quality and circadian rhythmicity. A secondary analysis will examine the relationship between delirium and sleep disruption and loss of circadian rhythmicity. Circadian rhythmicity will be characterized through the measurement of urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin levels at frequent intervals, while sleep will be assessed using continuous polysomnography.
