This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial aimed to determine whether preoperative sleep interventions could reduce the incidence of adverse outcomes, such as postoperative delirium, in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The study will include adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve surgery with concomitant sleep disorders, as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. All participants will be randomly assigned to placebo, placebo + cognitive behavioral therapy, and melatonin + cognitive behavioral therapy in a 1:1:1 ratio. The primary outcome is the incidence of postoperative delirium within 7 days after surgery or before discharge, and secondary outcomes include postoperative cognitive function, sleep quality, and severity and duration of delirium. The results of this study will provide suggestions for the prevention of delirium after cardiac surgery.

| Cognitive behavioral therapy intervention | Behavioral | The cognitive behavioral intervention provides sleep-related education 7-14 days before surgery. The educational content should include the following aspects: 1) Establish a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, recommending a sleep schedule from 22:00 to 07:00, and avoid prolonged daytime naps; 2) Optimize the sleep environment by ensuring a quiet setting, turning off lights, and refraining from using mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices 30 minutes before bedtime; 3) Manage diet by avoiding caffeinated foods such as chocolate, tea, and cola; 4) Engage in appropriate daytime activities as permitted by the patient's condition. |

| Postoperative sleep quality | The sleep quality was evaluated using the Actigraph model wGT3X-BT and the Sleep Quality and Nighttime Restlessness Scale (SQNRS) score. Subjects wore the Actigraph wGT3X-BT activity monitor from the beginning of their hospital admission until 7 days after surgery or before discharge. The device will record parameters such as total sleep time, wake time after falling asleep, number of awakenings, average wake time, and sleep efficiency during the first 7 days after surgery or before discharge to assess the subjects' sleep quality. Additionally, the SQNRS score was used to evaluate patients' subjective sleep quality during the same period. The SQNRS score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating better sleep quality. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Postoperative pain score | The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be employed to assess the pain levels of patients during the first 7 days after surgery or before discharge. A VAS score ranges from 0 to 10, with 1-3 indicating mild pain, 4-6 indicating moderate pain, and 7-10 indicating severe pain. | Postoperative 7 days or before discharge |

| Melatonin intervention | Dietary Supplement | Patients in the melatonin intervention group are required to take an oral melatonin of 5 mg at 30-60 minutes before sleep (administered at 21:00) nightly for 7 to 14 days before surgery. The melatonin was provided by Kangenbei Pharmaceutical Co., LTD. (Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China). |
|
| Placebo intervention | Other | Patients in the placebo group need to take oral placebos of 5 mg at 30-60 minutes (administered at 21:00) before sleep, nightly, for 7 to 14 days before surgery. The placebo is provided by Guangzhou Boji Biomedical Science Park Co., LTD. (Guangzhou, Guangdong, China). |

| Postoperative 7 days or before discharge |
| Postoperative cognitive function | The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) will be administered to evaluate the cognitive function of the patients 7 days after surgery or before discharge. The MoCA has a total score of 30 points, with a score above 26 indicating normal cognitive function. | The 7th day after surgery or before discharge |
| Duration and severity of delirium | Postoperative 7 days or before discharge |
| Postoperative mood and anxiety | The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) will be utilized to evaluate the mood and anxiety levels of the patients during the first 7 days after surgery or before discharge. The HADS scale comprises two subscales, totalling 14 items: 7 items assess anxiety, and the other 7 assess depression. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3, with each subscale totalling up to 21 points. Interpretation of the scores is as follows: 0-7 indicates a normal state, 8-10 suggests mild anxiety/depression, 11-14 indicates moderate anxiety/depression, and 15-21 suggests severe anxiety/depression. | The 7th day after surgery or before discharge |
| Types and doses of postoperative sedative and analgesic drugs |
| Postoperative 7 days or before discharge |
| Postoperative nausea and vomiting | The frequency of nausea and vomiting will be recorded daily for 7 days following surgery or before discharge, as documented during bedside consultations. | Postoperative 7 days or before discharge |
| Postoperative markers of oxidative stress and inflammation | Within 24 hours after surgery, levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), ascorbic acid (AA), dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), and C-reactive protein (CRP) will be determined from 5 mL of venous blood drawn from the patients. | 24 hours after surgery |
| Postoperative mechanical ventilation time and Intensive Care Unit stay time | Postoperative 7 days or before discharge |
| Length of hospital stay | 30 days after surgery |
| In-hospital mortality | Postoperative 7 days or before discharge |
| Serious adverse cardiovascular events | Postoperative 7 days or before discharge |
| Long-term survival | Survival information will be obtained through telephone follow-up. | 30 days after surgery |
| Long-term survival | Survival information will be obtained through telephone follow-up. | 12 months after surgery |
| Long-term sleep quality | The patients' sleep quality will be assessed through telephone follow-up using the Sleep Quality and Nighttime Restlessness Scale (SQNRS). The SQNRS score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating better sleep quality. | 30 days after surgery |
| Long-term sleep quality | The patients' sleep quality will be assessed through telephone follow-up using the Sleep Quality and Nighttime Restlessness Scale (SQNRS). The SQNRS score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating better sleep quality. | 12 months after surgery |
| Long-term pain | The patients' long-term pain will be assessed through telephone follow-up using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). A VAS score ranges from 0 to 10, with 1-3 indicating mild pain, 4-6 indicating moderate pain, and 7-10 indicating severe pain. | 30 days after surgery |
