[mariadt 27]

I am almost a week post op and i cant sleep at night not even taking sleeping aids. I get to sleep at about 3 am and wake up tired an dizzy at 7 am. Any ideas to dix this?

Not being able to sleep is normal. I remember a while back when I went on a 3 day fast I couldn't sleep. It's because of the lack of food/nutrients you are getting. I'm not sure exactly why our bodies work like that but I was lucky If I was able to sleep 4 hours in a 24 hour period during the 3 day fast. For those who are post op when were you able to resume a normal sleep pattern?

Your body stays alert for any possible food source when you're starving.

I resumed a normal sleeping pattern 9 days post op - primarily because I forced myself not to take a nap that day because I was returning to work the next day.
