Lack of sleep due to hospitalization

[PussyCat]

Sleeping in the hospital can be difficult for many reasons, including

An uncomfortable hospital bed
The illness itself
Emotional stress and anxiety about the illness
Pain after surgery or due to other conditions
Noise in the hospital (such as beeping alarms, staff members talking in the hallways, equipment being moved, or a roommate who snores)
Interruptions during the night to measure vital signs (such as temperature and blood pressure), take blood, change intravenous (IV) lines, or give drugs

As a result, many people are discharged from the hospital feeling more tired than when they entered the hospital.
