Aside from the first day/night after surgery, I’ve never felt like Hospitals are against slept?!?
My Wife had a c-section in October. Again, other than first day/night after surgery, never felt like we were interrupted all the time.
Is this article about America or something?
Not to mention "PAGING RESPOND MET CALL CODE BLUE"[0] followed by a crash cart tearing off down the hallway at 4am, and of course once you've been in the hospital for a few days you know that "MET call" means someone is probably dying and "code blue" means it's from cardiopulmonary arrest, which doesn't really help soothe you back to sleep.
[0] the jargon is probably wrong
That was my reaction too. My wife was in and out of hospital for two years in Drammen, Norway (2015 to 2017), and I never got the impression that her sleep was interrupted. I spent quite a lot of time with her in the hospital and the staff were quiet, courteous, helpful, and kind. They weren't always as available as one might wish but that was fairly rare.
Even heart rate monitor alarms are turned off/down locally;
