Summary

This study looks at how being in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU) after heart surgery affects your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Researchers will track sleep patterns and thinking ability in 15 adults to see if disrupted rhythms slow down recovery. The goal is to understand these effects so hospitals can improve patient care.
