Basic Care and Comfort QID 869

A nurse is educating a client on how to manage insomnia. Which of the following should the nurse recommend?

A:
Drink a cup of coffee in the evening to relax.
B:
Take naps during the day to make up for lost sleep at night.
C:
Engage in stimulating activities before bedtime to increase sleepiness.
D:
Establish a regular sleep schedule and a bedtime routine to signal the body it's time to sleep.

Explanation

Establishing a regular sleep schedule and a bedtime routine can help regulate the body's internal clock and signal it is time to sleep, which can improve insomnia. Engaging in stimulating activities before bedtime can make it harder to fall asleep. Taking naps during the day, especially in the afternoon, can interfere with nighttime sleep. Drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages in the evening can stimulate the central nervous system and disrupt sleep.
