During a routine physical, a 34-year-old patient who works two jobs and has a young child mentions that she gets about 5 hours of sleep most nights
A nurse could appropriately follow up by saying:
1. "That's very understandable, given everything that you need to do each day. I hope you are able to catch up on your sleep on your days off."
2. "Five hours of sleep is not quite enough, since most adults need at least 6 hours of sleep a night. Can you arrange your schedule so you can go to bed an hour earlier or get up an hour later?"
3. "That is concerning because not getting enough sleep increases your risk for accidents and can make it harder to make good decisions and maintain emotional stability. Can we talk about how you could get more sleep to ensure the safety of yourself and your child?"
4. "Most adults need about 8 hours of sleep a night. You should speak to your doctor about getting a prescription for a medication that will help you sleep."
