Sorry, having work nights for 3 years straight now, I had to laugh at this. You see, I'm the one who wakes the patients up at midnight and 0400 (and sometimes numerous times in between) to check their vital signs, turn them, make sure they're arousable, etc. In fact, I laughed at the quote from that patient because I usually tell them, "You came to the wrong place if you want to sleep. You can sleep at home. We're here to take care of you," when they complain about being awakened during the night. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
