I've not had the operated knee keep me awake at all but the unoperated one has often. I take either two paracetamol or one Piriton at night to help me sleep through that.
Just a thought - I know a lot were told to sleep on their back with leg out straight, but I wasn't told this and from the second night slept on my side with knee bent and was so much more comfortable sleeping in a normal position! I did find I had to sleep on my left initially (left knee done) but as it healed could also sleep on my right within three or four weeks.
