Not sleeping after surgery



Recommended Posts

Ok, I usually REALLY like my sleep. During the week i like a good 8 hours, but since surgery the most i can manage is 3/4. Im up and down and tossing and turning. Its driving me mad!

Has this happened to anyone else and did you find a solution for it? Maybe just time? I go back to work on Sun, working with small children so i need a good sleep before then!

I also had this problem right after surgery for a week or so. I was only sleeping for like 3 hours. I tried benedryl because it was on the ok list but that didn't even phase me. So I called my clinic and they told me I was able to take tylenol pm. It was normal for some people to sleep tons after surgery or very little at all. After taking the tylenol pm, I was able to start sleeping normal again and feeling better and better everyday.

Good luck and sweet dreams!!!

I didn't sleep very well after surgery either; it was hard to get comfortable plus I was usually taking a nap in the afternoon. It went away pretty quickly; certainly after a couple weeks I was sleeping normally.

I was able to take the round tylenol pm tablets whole. I could feel them going down, but thankfully they did. My doctor said if I had to cut them to take the pieces five minutes apart.
