depression, nursing difficulties, and people interrupting every quiet moment

We had our first child ~3 months ago. We had a room to ourselves and
nurses/midwifes would only come in once or twice a day unless they were paged
(which we did, they were a godsend). This made the stay as comfortable as
could be, and we could get all the quiet time alone we wanted, although sleep
was in short supply for other reasons.

This was in Copenhagen, Denmark, so the entire stay was free. Sadly, the
central hospital is removing this practice and kicking out patients after 4
hours.

Similar situation in Finland; we had a baby over Christmas two years ago. We
spent a few days in a private room with a checkup on the baby/mother around
noon and 6pm.

We paid €250 or so for 3 or 4 days (genuinely can't remember I guess my
sleeping wasn't so great. Oops!) for the three of us, so it wasn't free, but
it was pretty cheap.

People die or suffer serious harm in hospitals all the time. This often
happens during sleep, and in many cases it could have been prevented if the
patient had been checked on more frequently.

It is much easier to confirm that the patient is ok if they are awake. When
the nurse softly asks "do you feel ok?" when drawing blood in the night, it is
not just meant as soothing, but just as much to check if further treatment is
required.
