So, here I am, lying awake still at 3:20am having had only an hours sleep. I came to bed at 10pm!  The lack of sleep is making me irritable and grumpy, which is very unlike me.   

I seem to have one good night and then sleepless nights for days after.  I'm not in pain, and at 3 weeks post-op, I can lay on my side.  I don't take any medication other than magnesium. 

Does anyone have any tips for sleeping that would help me? 😩

    I'm using Tylenol PM. Without it I would wake up every two hours.
