Doctor Zhou lay in bed and could not quite fall asleep. He was unable to hold back from taking out his phone and checking for any missed calls.
On a normal day, this would be the period in which it was the easiest for him to receive calls.
People would call to ask him about what kind of medication they should take at night, confirm the surgeries he would be conducting at night, confirm the arrangement for tasks at night, and other miscellaneous tasks. All these tasks would usually be confirmed at this time.
Once the patients who were admitted in the afternoon were treated and their conditions were stable, it would be very easy for him to have a good night's sleep.
Of course, Doctor Zhou was usually able to have a good night's sleep during his night shifts.
However, he did not think that a good night's sleep came by chance.
