Sometimes circumstances call for a more extended visit. Before staying at a hospital overnight, check out these tips for a more comfortable experience.

• Make sure you are allowed to use the chair in their room

• If an all-nighter is planned for a nearby waiting room, be aware of other visitors in the room

• Be tidy and leave seating available for others

• If a prolonged stay is in order, make arrangements for nearby accommodations to spare strangers the feeling of camping with you in the waiting room for days on end
