The author makes it pretty clear, hospital staffs should wake up patients if absolutely necessary. "If a patient is at low risk and can go six or eight hours without a vitals check, for example, perhaps don’t do that check once every four hours."
.. "..I made a sort of handshake deal with my nurses to leave me alone between 11 and 7. This mostly worked (and was reasonable in my case since I was only there waiting for the first round of chemo to start). I also refused to allow the night nurse to draw blood at 4 am, and that was that. She never came back, and that was fine: after all, there are lots of cases where they really don’t need your counts on a daily basis. And they certainly don’t need them at 4 am. That’s merely for the convenience of doctors, who want the results back by 8 am."
