A million times this. Fortunately my only adult experiences overnight in a hospital were for the births of my children, but I was amazed in exactly the same way as the author here at how the place seemed designed to not let you sleep for more than 90 consecutive minutes. Even for non-medical stuff, there was laundry, meal prep, delivery, and cleanup, and cleaning, and then add regular checkins and tests and such to that, and it was just constant. (And of course with a newborn it's not like you're getting uninterrupted sleep at night even when they do leave you alone, so you're trying to catch up in the daytime, which is even more impossible.)
