Why do hospitals not allow you to sleep?

When you go to the hospital you are generally sick, tired, and in need of rest. One of the most important ways your body heals is through sleep and rest. Why then, do nurses show up in frequent intervals in the middle of the night to check on things? Some of these things are pointless, like changing the trash (the trash is empty) checking vitals, and taking blood. Many of these things can be done all at once in one swoop but they break up these small tasks so that as a patient, you get woken up every few hours. Why?
