I think that was my main complaint when I was in with my heart problems. You'd think an ICU would be quiet, but it wasn't. The nurses used to chat in loud voices right through the night. Crockery would be crashing in the kitchen just down the corridor and other patients needed docs etc. In desperation I used wax earplugs as well as having a sleeping tablet.

So sad to read this:

Couldn't sleep because of the pain after my op [I'd refused Diomorphine because it makes me itch and twitch] and didn't have access to my ear plugs. When I got home I slept for more or less 48 hours straight. Doc was horrified because I needed to be moving around, but I felt so much better for it. I was desperate.
