The narrator wakes up in the middle of the night and tells his doctor that he wants to sleep with him. He's been sleeping with his doctor since he was a little boy, and he's always wanted to be alone. He tells the doctor that his mother has to go back to work, but he'll be home in the morning. The doctor tells him that he can sleep by himself, but that it's cold outside, so he'd have to get under a blanket and wait for someone to shut the door. Then the doctor tells the narrator that he gave him medicine to help him sleep, and that he suddenly developed a fever and collapsed. The narrator is glad that the doctor stayed with him the whole night, though, because he thinks it'll make it easier for him to sleep. He asks the doctor if he can stay with him through the night, and the doctor says that other patients will be coming through the hospital for the weekend, so it would be better if he went to his room. He gives the narrator a tour of his room, which is a mess, and tells him to chill out. He says that he feels like his sleep problems may have something to do with his room , and asks if there's anything he can do to clean it up
