Your sleep after surgery .

[margaretmc]

Hi Everybody
After reading another post I was just wondering if your sleep gets better after surgery . For years now I haven't had a good nights sleep without waking up a load of times . I get a better sleep in my chair but by midday I'm like a zombie . Take care .

have always and continue to sleep 9 hours a night - i need it in order to be functional, otherwise, i get very grumpy and work is impossible (need to be able to concentrate)... have never had any problems (pre or post op).

Prob in 1st week Margaret i slept longer but now back to the way i was before op x

Initially after op my sleep was awful - bad, weird nightmares and the pain interrupted my sleep. But it has improved a lot to what it used to be like pre-op - i sleep longer and i don't wake up as often to change positions due to the pain in my limbs/back etc.

Hope your ok Marg - sending you hugs with fairy dust xx

My sleep was bad pre op. I snored too - much to my daughter's dismay - one night she stormed into our room and told me off!
Immediately post op I slept in a sitting position due to discomfort. This got steadily better. I can sleep really well now, and I'm sure the weight loss (well I know) has been the answer. Not just sleeping, but much more comfortable in bed. And I can turn over now without my other half thinking there's been an earth quake!! xx

My sleep pattern in much the same at night and Pete says I dont snore as much. Before my op if I lay down on the sofa I was like a tiny tears and my eyes would shut and I would be asleep. Since my op I think I have fallen asleep on the sofa twice both times in the evening
