Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether modifying the timing of nutrition support from overnight to daytime enhances sleep quality, preserves circadian rhythms, and improves overall inflammation and cardiometabolic profiles in postoperative patients in the cardiac surgical ICU on enteral nutrition.

Primary Outcome

Sleep fragmentation is defined as the number of shifts from deeper (N2, N3, REM) to lighter (W or N1) sleep stages by hours of sleep. Sleep fragmentation will be assessed objectively through EEG measures.
