“…Sleep integrity can be preserved by modifying the NICU environment to reduce noise and light levels (Varvara, Effrossine, Despoina, Konstantinos, & Matziou, ) and adjusting caregiving activities (Levy et al, ). Increased sleep time for infants can be immediately achieved with gentle touch (Bahman Bijari, Iranmanesh, Eshghi, & Baneshi, ), a prone position (Modesto et al, ), holding an infant in a flexed position, known as facilitated tucking (Valizadeh, Ghahremani, Gharehbaghi, & Jafarabadi, ), non‐nutritive sucking on a pacifier (sucking; Liaw et al, ), nesting, and swaddling (Abdeyazdan, Mohammadian‐Ghahfarokhi, Ghazavi, & Mohammadizadeh, ). Preterm infants receiving this developmental care show increases in the amount of quiet sleep (Bertelle, Mabin, Adrien, & Sizun, ); sucking, oral sucrose feeding, and facilitated tucking showed greater occurrences of quiet sleep and fewer occurrences of fussing and crying during heel‐stick procedures than those receiving routine care (Liaw et al, ).…”
