Practice Question
A nurse is teaching about methods to promote sleep to a client who has insomnia. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"Avoid eating heavy meals 3 hours before bedtime."
Rationale:
💤Heavy meals close to bedtime increase gastrointestinal activity and can cause indigestion or reflux, making it harder to fall asleep.
💤The body’s digestive workload keeps metabolism active, delaying the transition to restorative sleep.
💤Encouraging a light snack (if hungry) rather than a full meal promotes comfort and relaxation.
💤Other sleep hygiene measures include maintaining a consistent bedtime, avoiding caffeine and electronics, and creating a calm sleep environment.
💤Teaching should also emphasize relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or reading.
