Why your hospital stay might actually be slowing your recovery.

As a patient, you probably lie in your bed being treated without much knowledge about circadian rhythms — but the caregivers aren't yet knowledgeable either, so we are also training them.

Take this example: patients are woken up very early in the morning to start the day, while their natural rhythm isn't suited to getting up that early. If you were to adhere to a normal, natural rhythm, it would be much better for the patient.
