The noises at night are unbearable. I work in a hospital I know. It has been proven that noise at night hinders a patient healing process. Because with the noise the person is contantly wondering what is happening around them. 
(you cannot control your environment when you are a patient.)
The overhead speaker,the call lights, people yelling, machines dinging and binging,and even the telephone has created a noise nuisance. We as nurses have been warned to limit ourselves to the interruptions at nite. If you toilet your patient early in the night shift, that patient can go 3 or more hours before having to go again. Night medications can be given in the late part of the evening, so at too not interrupt sleep patterns. Yes, Adelaide you are right. The hospital is no where to get sleep.
and mrcomputer101---->it is probably quieter in a Nut Ward. Once you give psyche patients, haldol and thorazaine, they have nothing to do but walk around like ZOMBIES.
