Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a client who reports that she has insomnia. Which of the following interventions is appropriate for the nurse to recommend?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Eat a light carbohydrate snack before bedtime.
Rationale:
🌜 A small carb snack increases tryptophan availability, supporting serotonin/melatonin pathways that promote sleep onset.
🌜 It helps prevent nocturnal hunger and glycemic dips that can fragment sleep, without the reflux risk of a heavy meal.
🌜 Avoid hot cocoa near bedtime—chocolate contains caffeine/theobromine, which can delay sleep and reduce sleep quality.
🌜 Skip vigorous exercise within 1 hour of bed; it elevates core temperature and physiologic arousal, making it harder to fall asleep.
🌜 Routine daytime naps can weaken homeostatic sleep drive; a 30-min nap—especially late—often worsens insomnia.
