8 Secrets Everyone Should Know Before a Hospital Stay

4. Too much rest is bad for you

Just because you’re in the hospital, doesn’t mean you have to remain bedridden. In fact, too much rest can slow down your recovery. Moving around can even shorten your stay at the hospital. Get out of bed and walk down the corridors or around your room. You can even visit the hospital cafeteria or walk around the hospital grounds. This will help prevent blood clots, bed sores and restless legs and will make you feel better both, physically and psychologically.
