Insomnia....

Is this common post op? I certainly have had more energy for the last few weeks but for at least 2-3 weeks, have sleep problems at least 3-4 nights a week.

My energy hasn't risen either but I have always had problems sleeping. I usually just take one Panadol nighttime and that helps ease me into sleep. Nonaddictive because it is just the active ingredient in Benedryl.

My sleeping is terrible too and I've definitely not had an increase in energy levels, if anything I would say they are worse! Might look into the panadol thing tho. x

Its weird isnt it! Ive never had the tiredness lots of people say they have early on post-op. Ive not slept too badly but I do have some nights where I cant seem to get off to sleep, mind you I had that before so probably no difference post-op :D XX

I've suffeed the worst insomnia I've ever had sionce my op. i think it's because my energy levels are rising, but my actvity levels aren't yet.
Havng said that, this evening about 6.30pm I totally crashed on the sofa for about an hour and a half. i think it was a reaction to last night's pouch pain 'do'. I'm sat now having a glass of wine which I'm sure will help me sleep.

....but beware transfer addiction ...LOL....queue 'Jaws' music! I'm a wee bit tiddly LOL!

Not uncommon the first year.

What I was told was:

1.your changed stomach is making new sounds and your brain needs to relearn and understand them so they can get back into rhythm together
2.you just had major surgery, it can affect your sleep patterns
3.anesthesia can affect sleep patterns as well
