Hospital pillows are typically wrapped in plastic. For a good night’s sleep, you should probably bring one of your own. Hospital blankets are not as bad, but for sentimental purposes it might be nice to have a favorite blanket from home as well. Just the smell of your own pillow can be very comforting and help with healing by decreasing stress hormones. Nurses can be very busy, so they may not always deliver you water in a timely manner. Also, hospital cups may be small, and won’t insulate your warm beverages very well. Be prepared with your own large thermos or mug so that you can have something to sip on all day long. Books are a good way to occupy an otherwise slow day. If you plan to spend a lot of time reading, don’t forget your reading glasses if you wear them. Hospital TVs are small and can be hard to hear if you have a neighbor who is also watching. Bring a DVD player or a tablet with an online streaming account. Don’t forget earphones. You’ll need them to drown out other sounds. Check with the hospital before you bring an expensive electronic item. Some hospitals discourage or will not allow you to bring these items, as they do not want to be held liable if they go missing. Bring a CD player, tablet, or smartphone. Keep a lot of music on the phone. With a pair of earphones, you’ll have a good way to waste away the hours or, alternatively, block outside sounds while you curl up with a book. Again, check with the hospital before bringing these items. Hospital food can be hard to stomach. Bring things that will keep well without refrigeration and do not require much if any preparation. Be aware that, depending upon procedure, specific health conditions, or your reason for hospitalization, this may not be recommended. You may have specific dietary recommendations to follow while in the hospital. Check with your doctor first.  Consider bringing granola bars, pastries, and fruit. Sugary treats are tempting, but they aren’t particularly good for your health. If you are in the hospital, they might not be the best option for you. Consider bringing your body wash, toothpaste, toothbrush, brush, shampoo, powder, and deodorant. The hospital should have some of these things, but they are typically of low quality. If you are attached to a particular product, especially a luxury product like a moisturizer, consider bringing it with you. Unless you want to share your rear end with the rest of the hospital, for the sake of your fellow patients, you should consider bringing something that is comfortable and covers you up better than a hospital gown. Bring non-slip slippers so that you can get in and out of bed with ease. If you are inclined to be cold, consider bringing a hat or coat as well. Alternatively, ask your nurse for multiple hospital gowns. You can wear one facing forward, the other backward, so that you are fully covered up. The hospital may also have pajama pants or a robe you can wear.

Article: If you've noticed that your shoelaces seem to come untied frequently, try this knot, which is based off of the super-secure knot that doctors use to tie sutures after surgery (the knot is also popular with fishermen.) To start, make the same sort of basic "right over left" knot that you'd begin with when tying your shoes normally. To do this, simply take your right lace and cross it over the left lace. Wrap it around the left lace once and pull tight. You're done! After this, make a small "looped" section by doubling one of the laces back on itself. You're not doing any tying or wrapping here — just re-positioning one string so that it makes a U shape. Next, take the lace that you didn't make a loop with and pull it so it crosses behind the loop. Then, pull it back around in front of the loop. This should make a small "hole" between the two laces and the initial "right over left" knot at the bottom. " Take the slack end of the free lace in your hand and make a second loop by doubling it up on itself in a U shape (just like you did with the other lace.) Push this second loop through the "hole" that was formed in the previous step. Resist the urge to pull the knot tight at this point — if you do, you'll just be left with an ordinary shoelace knot. Now, take the second loop that you just pushed through the hole and wrap it all the way around the first loop. Push it back through the hole one again. "Double-wrapping" the loop this way is what makes the surgeon's knot so secure — the friction that's generated when the tightly-wrapped laces rub against each makes it very hard for this knot to come undone. Now, you can simply pull the loops in opposite directions to tighten the knot. The results will look a little like a standard shoelace knot, but should be much more secure. If you really don't want your laces to come undone, try soaking the knot in water before pulling it tight. As the water evaporates, the fabric of the laces will constrict, making the knot even tighter. Though this knot shouldn't come undone accidentally, it's not hard to undo when you want to take off your shoes. Simply pull on the loose ends of the laces like you would with an ordinary shoe knot and the surgeon's knot should come apart easily.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make a standard "right over left" starting knot and loop. Make a loop with one lace. Bring the free lace behind the loop and around the front. Make a second loop with the free lace and feed it through the "hole. Wrap the new loop around the lace and back through the hole. Pull the loops to tighten. Undo the knot by pulling on the lace ends.
