Talk to your doctor & have the orders written a bit differently. In our hospital the oral meds are done at 10am & 10pm. Treatments between 9-5 (give or take).
Now iv's cant vary that much, but good nurses can hook you up &/or disconnect you without disturbing you much. Another thought is to have continuous fluids so they dont have to wake you at all to get to the line to connect & reconnect.
When I first went in this time I was getting nebs every 4 hours because I couldnt breath along with sugar checks every 4 hours. As soon as I stabilized I asked for both of them to be discontinued so the only thing waking me was pee breaks LOL
As far as residents, interns or others that are just "following up". Placing a polite sign on the door will probably do wonders.
IMHO CFers are different then most people who go into the hospital for a day or two. The amount of time we spend there can really deprive us of sleep which is so important as well as the meds etc that we get.
Starting with a talk with the doctor is best. As to the babies etc. TV or just learning to block it out is about all you can do. Maybe some type of headset on during the night?
Good Luck
