This kind of goes along with the advice to keep a stash of supplies upstairs and downstairs, but I also keep a "to go" back ready at all times. It has a dressing change, heparin, saline, gloves, alcohol, etc. and I also include a clean towel. If we are traveling with a med I take it out of the fridge and wrap it in another towel before putting it in the bag so the condensation does not moisten any of our other supplies.
I will also add that we have always been on a 6/12 schedule, so we are up through the night as well. We love the eclipse balls, but one concern is that we will hook it up, fall asleep, and forget to disconnect. I am always worried about making a mistake in the night and doing something stupid like set an alarm clock incorrectly, etc. So, instead of using an alarm clock, I use a digital timer that I can set for 30 minutes, or 45 minutes, etc. It seems in my sleepy state it's easier to set a timer for the exact number of minutes than to try to figure out what time I need to set an alarm clock to wake me up.
Good luck!
