title: [Fostering an environment favorable to the sleep-wake rhythm].
abstract: Health care teams in nursing homes for the elderly, as well as home care workers are faced with patients whose sleep is sometimes disturbed. Understanding sleep disorders and the sleep-wake cycle functioning may help improve patients rest. An action on the environment and rituals can help in the return to peaceful nights.
