Those are some great ideas! I usually relied on reading and tv since I didn't have a smartphone at the time and I just couldn't sleep at the dialysis center. Are those tips available to share with other dialysis patients? I have a transplant now, but am still involved with my old dialysis center as a QAPI committee member and as a PFR for the center through the IPRO ESRD Network.

Yes, these resources are available for the dialysis centers who are already signed up for NKF's newsletters. They can also use the link to share with patients or print a few copies and keep them readily available. Hope this helps!
