Any idea what service that is through? Do people that are donating need to download an app, or just go to website or...?

I've never come across this

Re:Why Do Hospitals Hate Sleep So Much? on Wednesday December 05, 2018 @03:15PM (#18612031)
I really like posts/articles like this that point out problems that need to be addressed, but they always seem to miss a reasonable call to action. In this case it mentions what the author did (refuse to let her sleep be interrupted and make a verbal agreement with those tending.)

But if that doesn't work? For instance, what do I do about the new nurse that doesn't want to upset the dr and insists on doing the 4am blood draw?

With hard facts about WHY the nurse doesn't need that 4am draw I could formulate an argument to convince the nurse to let me sleep instead. But outright refusing to let the nurse do their duties just feels... obnoxious.
