• Make sure there are clean fresh sheets on the bed
• Make a hot water bottle
• Light an aromatherapy candle
• Make a little bedside table kit – medicines, drink, mags, gentle lamp
• Make some tempting nibbles – cut things small (reminds us of being pampered as a child) and display carefully
• Put on some gentle music
• Leave alone to get some peace and quiet but pop back at regular intervals to see if all is well
• Offer to go and get things if needed
