    As a patient, I once had an order for Tylenol that I fell asleep before getting. My nurse let me sleep until I woke up during vitals (which she was taking using only the light from the hallway to avoid waking me as much as possible - worked quite often too). Gave me the Tylenol then, threw in the bathroom run and sent me back to sleep.
    It must have just been a quiet night but I gave that nurse a present when I was picked up for discharge. Woman was a saint.

    As someone who just recently got home from a nearly month-long hospital stay, I can't even BEGIN to tell you how accurate this is! It was mindblowing how my doctors were constantly stressing the importance of sufficient rest for my recovery, but I'd be woken up every two hours all night long, EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, to have my vitals taken or my blood drawn. As a chronic insomniac, I have enough trouble sleeping as it is, but in the hospital sleep was nearly impossible. I think I only got a combined total of three hours of sleep for the entire first week I was there. It was hell.
    Apparently some hospitals are starting to designate themselves as "Sleep-Friendly" & try to minimize nighttime distruptions as much as possible, but unfortunately the hospital I stayed in wasn't one of them.

  • @PaulGAckerman

      I barely notice anymore. IF I can get to sleep a bomb could go off and I would stay asleep. My parents have actually physically shaken me to no avail. Saying my name doesn’t work either. But I can sleep in a protective position for my IV that gives easy access and they can roll me over if blood pressure is taken. Usually don’t wake up.
      I sound like the perfect patient esp since needles don’t bother me. But I have also projectile vomited directly in a nurses face- anphotericin with no stomach settler- and I’m a bleeder. So they walk away and come back to thick red shit pouring out.

Some of the best sleep I’ve ever gotten was when I was in the hospital for a flare or something and the nurse was would come in every 4 hours to give me IV pain meds without me having to call first. I’m used to now sleeping with my arm straight and not moving so that helped a lot.

    As a night shift nurse in the ICU, if my patient is remotely stable, I’ll skip my two hour assessments to let them sleep because it’s a HUGE part of the healing process. It helps that I can always see their vitals on a monitor, so I can still catch new changes. Without sleep, patients WILL develop temporary delirium.

      In September I was also in the hospital for exactly 14 days without any diagnosis. This is definitely accurate. Especially the IV for me. Same with the being waken up at the crack of dawn for rounds…
      I’ve just woken up and they’re like “have you eaten breakfast? When was your last bowel movement? YESTERDAY!? We’ll order some laxatives. Also, we’ve decided you’re going to be put on an NG tube because you didn’t eat enough when you literally had enemas two days in a row and weren’t left feeling very good. We’re still going to make you eat while you have the tube in though, even though you can’t even swallow without gagging with one in.”

      We know longer stays generally lead to worse outcomes, but medicine is so defensive in the US. If we discharge a person in 1-2 days, or don't get vitals every four hours or medications round the clock, we get calls from utilization review that the insurance company won't will pay for the visit. We have to be like no nevermind this was just an observation not an admission to the hospital. Or had keep them longer. US health care system is so draining and frustrating, not just for patients but health care providers too

She declared “well I’m going to make myself useful, and first began yelling questions at my wife, like “What are your symptoms?” (She was pregnant, trying desperately not to push because the baby was breach). She then drew several vials of blood, which were discarded at the hospital. She made a bad situation much worse, all so she could feel useful.

    The most sleep deprived I've ever been in my life was during a hospital stay for asthma. 11 days no sleep, I was hallucinating and actually starting to feel like it was a personal attack (hi paranoia, let's never meet again.) Eventually the Dr understood, I take some of my meds together to sleep. At last! I got some sleep. Second longest, 9 days in a 15 day stay, ICU over the holidays, lungs again. I got very emotional to the point I couldn't stop crying to be able to talk. The Dr threatened to sedate me and I sobbed, "Please do." He was stunned. Don't threaten me with actual sleep in a hospital. I will gladly take the Ramones "I wanna be sedated" route over falling apart any time.

      I actually had a patient say that one of the people she was most grateful for was the housekeeper who would come in every morning and talk to her while cleaning, despite the patient being seemingly unconscious. She'd been like that for a few weeks, and I think most of us on her care team got used to it and stopped explaining everything we were doing (which you are always supposed to do no matter what) but apparently she started regaining consciousness slowly and there were a few days where she could hear but still couldn't really open her eyes or respond. She said that that housekeeper made her feel like an actual person and helped her mental health so much. That story has really stayed with me, honestly everyone you come into contact with at the hospital plays an important part :)

It was a quiet time btw, only 3 moms gave birth the whole time I was there. I know because I asked every single nurse and doctor how her shift was going and if she was well, and they were more than happy to chatter about their day while doing their work in the room. Get off your high horse. We're all human here. You sound like a caregiver who is fed up with giving care. If you are I wouldn't blame you, I can't imagine the pressures of the last almost 2 years now in particular, but you may want to check yourself with a therapist if you think patients shouldn't kindly ask if its possible to sync the baby's schedule with the moms for just an hour, after being awake for 3 days (2 in labor, plus the night before and the observation day after). I know that my medical team is not a perfectly coordinated, all-knowing machine, nor are they psychic. If I don't ask questions, how the hell are they supposed to magically know everything? It's a team effort after all. I was blessed to have the people I had taking care of me, and not someone who thought I was an entitled jerk for asking a question.

      She said she didn't like to do that because they'd be in for a few days & I should be able to bend my elbows.
      Seems logical.
      Also, they did the second one after I was unconscious, also logical.
      The only rotten thing was that I had nerve testing the whole way through the surgery (to make sure nerve signals were not affected, they measure the signal with needle electrodes). By day 2, every IV injection & drip stung like HELL & nobody knew why.
      They took one out because I said I really felt like I wanted to rip it out, it was so sore (- & I was going home the next day, & the other one was still okay, & I wasn't on constant IVs by then).
      Nobody knew why it stung so much. Or why I had caked blood in my scalp - but a very lovely nurse did comb it out for me.
      The nurse, who was older & I think had also been an OR nurse - on the day I was discharged explained I would have literally been pinned down, in a cage-like thing to stop me moving.
      Over the next week, despite the fact my surgery fused 3 vertebra, I had SO much extra pain from bruises in the soles of my feet & all over my hands, as well as symmetrical ones across different parts of my body.

      Oh my goodness, you have NO idea how validating that is to hear. "Hospital psychosis from constant noises and no sleep is a real thing." I knew that could not just be me, or some fluke! Wow.🤯 Mind semi blown right now.
      I definitely almost experienced hospital psychosis" after childbirth... thankfully i had the Self-awareness to tell my family and doctor I could feel myself losing touch with reality and essentially B-52'd myself. But, a dozen years before that with my early times being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, I went to Inpt Psych and then the lack of sleep (not only lights and sounds but SCARY PEOPLE i didn't trust! And I was already anxious/paranoid going in) for days may have been what made it even worse before it got better.
      Bottom line: Thank you not only for sharing your experience and insight (which helped more than you may have anticipated).. but also thanks for being a part of the solution.
      I always say "SLEEP is the best medicine!"

    This is the most accurate depiction of a stay at the hospital I have ever seen. A few years ago I was in a really horrible car wreck and I had a broken clavicle with a collapsing lung. After a few hours of being there I complained about not being able to breathe very well. A few days later it was determined that my lung had collapsed and we needed to get a chest tube inserted to drain the air from my chest cavity. But this procedure was ordered at 8am and the procedure was done at 2am the following morning. So for that entire time I was dreading the procedure and couldn’t sleep at all. When the doctors finally came into my room, there were about eight students and interns there to watch. This ended up giving me a panic attack, and I locked up so bad I seriously could not move my legs or hands that had curled up. And the students were like “just calm down”. I swear the pain was enough to make someone pass out because there was no anesthesia only a little pain killer which did nothing. But I stayed awake. For the next several days, I was only able to sleep during the day because that was when the nurses weren’t constantly checking in.

      It’s only great if it’s for something minor. Cause you just wake up feeling refreshed or at least for me cause I can’t ever fall asleep in the day. But there’s probably still some drugs in your system so it’s like some weird main anime character strength training keeping your eyes open.

    So true. Especially in a teaching hospital. My favorite is when the doc says, "You seem tired" or night shift ordered late night Chinese. Seriously, my migraine after chemo can't handle this!
