These authors also reported contrasting results Simini reported that 61 of patients had sleep deprivation in the ICU whereas sleep was described as being good and sufficient by 73 of patients in the study by Granja and colleagues. We explored the memorization of sleep disturbances during an ICU stay and then evaluated the quality of sleep reported by patients after critical care. A telephone interview including a random sample of 60 patients admitted to our ICU was performed 6 to 12 months after their discharge.
