If you are proficient in medicine. You gain a bonus hitpoints equal to your medicine proficiency tier modifier * hit die and can split this between you and your party members. More can be found under the medicine skill section.

A long rest refers to 8 hours of continous uninterrupted rest that includes at least more than 6 hours of sleep. Characters cannot do more strenous activity than short walks, eating, talking and may only take watch for up to 2 hours each. If interrupted less than 4 hours into the rest, they instead have considered to have taken a short rest if it matches the short rest duration. If interrupted more, they only gain half the hitpoints gained that they normally would and half the spell slots(round down). If interrupted and they resume long rest, they must rest double the missing time to gain the benefits of a long rest.
You cannot gain the benefits of long rest more than once every 24 hour.
When you long rest , you regain all missing hitpoints to your hitpoint maximum
