•Patients admitted to one of six RBWH wards recruited to a larger cluster randomised controlled trial (registration ID: ACTRN12614000615684) studying the effect of modified night lighting on inpatient falls.

•We will exclude patients who have been in the ward for longer than 30 days or are due to be discharged within the following 3 days.
•We will also exclude patients that have provided data for the current study in a previous month (on any wards).
•Patients with known cognitive impairment will be excluded, as an important element of this observational study is to capture data on participant subjective experience of the sleep environment, on sleep quality and on disruptions. Self-report data of this nature could be unreliable in cognitively impaired populations.
•Due to lack of multi-language versions of the scales used in this study, we will also exclude patients who are not fluent in English.
•Lastly, we will exclude patients who are unstable or too unwell to participate.
•Patient eligibility will be established by the study research officer (SRO) in consultation with the ward nurse manager or shift coordinator at each recruitment point (a calendar month).
