    Same in UK.
    If they are extremely sick, then maybe slight supervision (occasionally).

    But typically you are left on your own to sleep.

    That's sad. We tend to look after others if anybody is sick, here in India. Its really comforting to.have someone who can take care of you.

    Its different in here in my country. Though I cant say about all asians. Tending to our loved ones is something we do out of care, although its hectic.

    here in Philippines, we always tend for our sick family members especially children. Not only we change the cold towel often, but also wipe the body with cold towel. cook nutritious food and remind them their medicine. This is for them to get better fast and its really great when someone is taking care of you when you are on your vulnerable state

    Imma have to disagree with you right there mate. My Filipino dad has stories where he was so sick he had to crawl down stairs and force food into his mouth as a child. His parents would just watch. I mean after he got better they would say “good job”, but overall my Filipino grandparents were the kind of parents who said “no one is going to take care of you, except you”

    I dont really know how it is for other people of our country but the biggest part in taking care of sick ones was the food. We would make healthy food or buy stuff the sick person is craving etc. We have a saying that a good night's sleep cures everything so we didn't keep each other company but instead told the sick one to sleep well. Still having someone to take care does make you feel loved and it helps.
