Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Brief name: a text message-based survey to follow-up post-operative sleep disruption.

Patients >18 years old undergoing non-cardiac day surgery at Wellington Hospital or Kenepuru Hospital who consent to participate in the study will have their cellphone number recorded for the text-based survey link. The first survey will be sent to each participant, 24 hours post-discharge, by text (or by email if there is no cellphone number) to their smartphone. If the patient responds to the first survey request, they will receive two further surveys, one on day 3 postoperatively, and one on day 7 postoperatively.

Statistical methods / analysis
As there is currently no known level of sleep disruption deemed to be clinically significant no formal hypothesis test will be undertaken. Rather, differences in mean (or median if data is non-parametric) sleep quantity and quality will be assessed independently between pre-operative values and values obtained on post-operative days 1, 3, and 7 with a point estimate and attendant 95% confidence interval. An interval that crosses the null value (a difference of 0 hours in the case of sleep quantity, and a difference of 0cm in the case of sleep quality) would be deemed insufficient evidence to conclude there is a difference in that outcome on that post-operative night compared to pre-operative values.

Two separate multivariate linear models will be used to investigate the association between the other variables collected and sleep quality and quantity.

No correction will be made for multiple testing as the aim of this study is hypothesis generation; conclusions should therefore be treated as such.

Summary
Brief summary
Sleep disturbance appears to be nearly universal post-operatively, and has been associated with increased rates of delirium, pain, cardiovascular events, and longer recovery times. In spite of current research there remains uncertainty as to the degree and duration of sleep disruption postoperatively. In addition, the role, if any, that pharmacological agents commonly used in anaesthesia have on postoperative sleep disturbance is yet to be fully elucidated. This study aims to explore the utility of a text message based survey to study perioperative sleep disruption in day surgery patients. If a text message-based method for following up postoperative sleep disruptions can be shown to be effective, this will allow for larger scale research utilising this approach.
