Sueñon® affects patients are respected and wants to raise awareness and change the culture of care in hospitals of the National Health System. In this regard, the role of nurses is essential, as are health care professionals who have more direct contact with patients. We must therefore commit to avoid unnecessary illuminations, reduce noise as much as possible, the care and schedule tasks to be done at night, ask patients what preferences they have to bedtime and keep abreast of research in the field of improvement of sleep. In the event lighting should be used orange lights, flashlights or front instead of on the light general to avoid fragmentation of sleep due to the lighting. As for the noise should decrease in public areas or keep the doors closed and also create a greater contrast between day and night for a better rest. The night should be dark, quiet, quiet and not too high a temperature in bed. However, in the morning should raise the blinds early. To promote sleep, in addition, be reduced nap.
