Sunnyskies2283 23 Posted August 5, 2014 Hello...did anyone develop insomnia after surgery? If so, did it resolve and how long did that take? I frequently wake up 2 or 3 hours after falling asleep and then I toss and turn for the next 3 hours. Its miserable for work and my attitude! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cathrn 7 Posted August 5, 2014 I have a similar experience in that I don't sleep more than a few hours but I can usually fall asleep again within an hour. Have you tried something for white noise? I sleep with a box fan on in my room and it seems to help me fall asleep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katprincess 1 Posted June 3, 2019 Hello , came through your post and I am experiencing the same thing being 3 months post operation. My question is did it get better your sleeping problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunnyskies2283 23 Posted June 3, 2019 Yes, it did get better. I don't really remember how long it took but it was a couple months of not so much fun. I really believe the surgery and losing weight made hormone levels go crazy. Hormone levels can impact sleep but that's just my theory of what was happening to me and not doctor verified. How old are you? Sorry you're going through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted June 3, 2019 My poor sleep has another oroblem, I am on every six hours Carafaten have a chance to sleep between Midnight and 6 AM, but never unwind enough to get that much, averaging 4 to 5 hours on a good night. Used to think,it was having to get up to do #1 but I'm still awake more than asleep, CPap used to help, lost so much weight it doesn't fit that well when I do wear it I remove it in my sleep.Oh well if it isn't one thing it is sure to be another! Anybody want to join me worrying about Kim Jong Un and Global Flooding? 1 Carrot64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losebig 508 Posted June 6, 2019 Yup, had that for a couple months I think and it was VERY annoying. It was likely due to the large hormone release when you lose a lot of weight quickly. You probably will also get mood swings and other fun effects, but the good news is it means things are working! Try melatonin, you can take it again in the middle of the night if you want. I personally took melatonin at bed time and also tylenol pm (benedryl actually) and that worked most nights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
