Summary

Sleep disorders are common in dialysis patients. At present, the management of insomnia in patients with chronic renal failure is not significantly different from that of the general population, which focuses on the management of co-factors, sleep hygiene, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Light therapy is a paramedical practice that involves exposing a patient to a light intensity greater than 5000 Lux (usually 10,000 Lux) for 30 minutes in the morning between 7:00 and 8:30. Its impact is partly mediated by an improvement in the nycthemeral cycle of melatonin.

Light therapy may improve sleep disorders and anxious-depressive elements as suggested in the literature. This technique has not yet been evaluated in dialysis patients, whereas easy to set up.
