By the looks of your avatar, you should postone it until later in the week.

If you are a surgeon, you know the answer. As much as you can... between rounds, rechecking labs, putting in central lines, running a code, and grand rounds. That usually leaves, what, 1-2 hours of interupted dozing?

The quality of sleep is of extreme importance in such cases. If your sleep under the tension of surgery, any amount of sleep will be of little use.

If you are the patient, as I presume you are, then the hospital will take care of that.
If you are the surgeon, the mortician will take charge of the patient.
