  1. aPatient satisfaction was measured on a 5-point Likert scale, from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). Patients were considered satisfied if they scored ≥ 4 on the Likert scale. Total n of patients varies for different I-SLEEP components because some patients chose not to participate in different elements of the intervention (i.e., receive the brochure, wear the eye mask/earplugs)
  2. bPatients were asked on a daily basis if they asked their care team any of the three provided I-SLEEP questions the night before. Question 1 was about batching nighttime disruptions: “If I have to be woken up during the night, can I get everything done all at once?” Question 2 was about blood draws: “Can I get my blood drawn during waking hours?” And question 3 was about vitals: “Do I need overnight vitals?” Data was collected from 37 patients over 95 study nights in the hospital
