Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a sleep deprivation and disruption on quality of life of acute respiratory failure ICU survivors using sleep actigraphy. Sleep actigraphy is a method of measuring sleep parameters and average motor activity over a period of days to weeks using a device worn on the wrist. The information provided can help characterize sleep patterns in this population, and guide future studies on treatment of sleep disorders after being discharged from intensive care.

Detailed description of study

Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about their sleep and have an actigraph placed on their wrist. Participants will be asked to return the actigraph after two weeks. Some participants will be asked to complete a sleep study in addition to wearing the actigraph.
