Gesture & etiquette
Enter the room with a bright expression, moderate energy — not so energetic as to startle. Make eye contact and pause for the answer. If they say they slept poorly, nod with concern before proceeding.
Starting the day with a direct, caring question signals that you see the person as an individual, not just a patient. Listen to the answer sincerely — a poor night's sleep can affect mood and cooperation throughout the day, and acknowledging it matters.
