The nurse and a client are discussing the importance of an effective 24-hour sleep cycle. Which of the following responses by the client may be a direct result of an inadequate sleep pattern? (Select all that apply.)

1. Gaining weight
2. Usually feeling cold
3. Always feeling “tired”
4. A heart that beats “really fast”
5. Often feeling “blue” or depressed
6. Feeling dizzy when getting up from a chair

ANSWER

ANS: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
The predictable changing of body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, hormone secretion, sensory acuity, and mood depend on the maintenance of the 24-hour circadian cycle. Weight gain is not typically a result of poor sleep patterns.
