Sleep 💤 improvement address WLS

[Candace76 212]

I honestly feel like I have been sleeping better since the surgery. I don't have sleep apnea & I was pre-diabetic before surgery (urination overnight was not an issue). I had been having difficulty getting a good night's sleep for at least the last 10 years. I often had trouble falling asleep & staying asleep, with periods of being up for 2-4 hours overnight. Often, I would get an hour or two of sleep at a time. My husband's snoring 😴 didn't help any either!🤣

One of the (many) reasons I decided to go through with the surgery was to help me get better sleep. I was getting pain in my legs, hips & lower back & was constantly readjusting my position overnight. I thought dropping some weight would help with the pain & discomfort while sleeping.

I have only lost about 35 pounds so far, and I have been more comfortable overnight & able to sleep for longer stretches than I have in years.

Hopefully, you will also have improvement with your sleep as well.

I have patterns of insomnia every few months. No clue why and a sleep study didn’t reveal anything useful (No diabetes either).

I recently started using magnesium oil instead of pill form and I’ve been told that now I don’t wake at every little noise.

@GreenTealael interesting 🤔

@Candace76 that is the goal to improve on sleep.
