Sleep: Crucial for patients and nurses alike.

Sleep can impact health and performance. With increased knowledge about sleep hygiene and sleep disorders, nurses can teach patients practical behaviors and strategies to promote healthy sleep habits and assist their journey to healing and recovery.

Variation in neurophysiological function and evidence of quantitative electroencephalogram discordance: predicting cocaine-dependent treatment attrition.

Cocaine treatment trials suffer from a high rate of attrition. We examined pretreatment neurophysiological factors to identify participants at greatest risk. Twenty-five participants were divided into concordant and discordant groups following electroencephalogram (EEG) measures recorded prior to a double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment trial.
