Patricia Carter, PhD, RN, CNS, of the University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing, discusses the affect opioids can have on sleep.

However, without taking necessary pain medication, sleep can also be disturbed. Therefore, it is up to providers, such as nursing professionals, to properly adjust prescriptions.
