People receiving dialysis in the morning have better subjective sleep quality than those who receive dialysis at other times


Implications for practice and research

  • Assessment of sleep quality, with attention to disease and treatment-related factors, should be incorporated into the routine care of haemodialysis patients.
  • Rigorous studies aimed at evaluating interventions for improved sleep in this population are needed.
