CHARLOTTE, NC — Night-shift nurse Avani Kaur burst into the hospital room at 2 a.m. this morning to remind recovering mother Lindsay Cullen how critical sleep is for postpartum recovery.

For the 17th time that night, Kaur turned on the fluorescent overhead lights, loudly adjusted Cullen's blood pressure cuff, and urged the exhausted 29-year-old to "catch up on sleep while the baby is in the nursery."

"Sleep is truly the best medicine right now," Kaur whispered loudly while forcefully shaking Cullen's shoulder to hand her a lukewarm cup of water. "You look absolutely depleted, dear. You really need to close your eyes."

Kaur reportedly returned at 2:40 a.m. to take vital signs, 3:15 a.m. to check the room temperature, and 4:00 a.m. to deliver a passionate five-minute lecture on how sleep affects the supply of breast milk.

At publishing time, a delirious Cullen had begun hallucinating, prompting Nurse Kaur to advise the day nurse to perform more frequent check-ins.


Tucker Carlson is just asking questions about World War 2. Why was it even fought? Was Hitler really such a bad guy? And why did Churchill never denounce the trans agenda?
