are hospital hallways ever actually dark??
They dim the lights in the evening, at least on the maternity ward, but mostly not.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Because books.
Hospital hallways are never as deserted as they are in horror movies, either (shocker). They do dim the lights at night, but nothing is ever completely dark.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My memory of hospitals is that they are never quiet, and it's all due to the staff who don't give a fuck that there are patients trying to sleep and are miserable.
In good news, which also attests to how bad I am with my own finances, but whatever, the form I filled out months ago about a reimbursement from the electric company from 2011 finally came through. 300 bucks! That was my electric company from my old apartment, which I haven't lived at for several years. Silver lining: I now don't have to add ramen noodles to my grocery list this pay period (but I will anyway, because they are tasty).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Lighting like this blows my mind.
Most of those are probably 5 light sources. I can look at a photo and tell you what the angles are and if it's direct light or diffused, but I'm at a loss when it comes to what intensity the camera needs. I'm used to only dealing with what the eye perceives.

I don't think that's exactly why it can be noisy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've realized half of my perception problem was not realizing how much of nurses' jobs are not in front of me. They have a shit-ton of stuff to do that patients can't see.

Although I do think hospitals could make it more of a staff priority to deal with all the alarms, even when they aren't actually urgent. Annoying!

My one overnight stay in a hospital was near the desk, and it was slamming drawers, loud gossip, and heavy footsteps in an otherwise non-active section of the hospital.

One of the hospital buildings here is old and not in the greatest repair, and you can find yourself in dim hallways where you think "this is right out of a horror movie," especially when you realize you are on the way to the morgue.

Creepy!
In general, I think I've never been in a workplace of any kind that got dark at night. The hall lights are always on!
