This study tests if a special sleep pathway helps adults with orthopedic trauma (like broken bones) sleep better in the hospital. Orthopedic trauma patients often have trouble sleeping after surgery because of pain and hospital noise. The study will see if the new method improves sleep and helps patients use less opioids (strong pain medicines). Participants will either follow this new sleep plan, which includes taking zolpidem (a sleep medicine), melatonin (a sleep hormone), and learning good sleep habits, or get standard care. A special watch tracks sleep, and they answer daily questions about their sleep and pain. The research compares the two groups to see which has better sleep and uses fewer opioids.
- The study lasts as long as the hospital stay, at least 3 days.
- Participants will wear a watch to monitor sleep and answer questions daily.
- Participants cannot have existing sleep problems or use certain medications before joining.
