"It's 3am...3am...eternal, oh ohho , oh hoho!"..... no? Just me then is it?... 3am eternal by Klf and Tammy Wynette... from 1989 ...

Sorry first thing that came to mind when I looked at clock before beginning this post was that song. Point is what is it about 3 in the morning that seems to see hippies awake? Must be pain killers wearing off or something, promise I haven' just got in from a club... I'm 46 for heaven's sake:D! ... anyway "mornin' !" To all of you lucky people awake at this time. I'm 5 weeks post op Monday, any one know when one might expect a good night's sleep again?..... anyone?:'(.

All the best , Jay.

    Hi Jason, what seems to be keeping you awake,  I have been taking a motion sickness med, in Canada called gravol when I can't sleep.  I thought I would have more trouble since sleeping on my back was an issue

      Hi Isabelle, not entirely sure why, but here in uk seems to be a 3am club of hippies, we all just keep waking up! Could be painkillers wearing off, or just habbit! Probably we don't use meds as much here as you guys over the pond. Just like to go on about our problems:D. I do have some pain in my thigh tho tonight and left my painkillers downstairs! Can't be arsed to stumble around house to get them, prob get eaten by our dogs if I startle them at this time:D

    Hmmm, if you woke up to "Mu mu land, mu mu land ,ancient & justified , Mu mu land" , then maybe you had been partaking of something weird you just don't remember?

    Really, 3 am is just about  when I wake up every morning --- I think lots of us do. Sometimes I can just get a drink of water and get back to sleep but generally takes a pain medication  and a good book before I can settle back down. I'm nine weeks post op and its a rare night when I don't awaken. Not sure when a good night sleep will be normal again. The best of luck to you in finding that elusive butterfly of sleep. Let us know if you find the magic means !

    All together now keeps running through my head as a line from mu mu land not sure if it a different song altogether
    • Posted

      "All bound for mu mu land" is from Ancient and justified th original Tammy Wynette song. I believesmile all together now is The farm or the Beatles. The farm track I think from memory is a bit similar beatsmile

    Hi Jason

    I used to wake up at 2am every night for the first 5 weeks until I slept on my side when I slept through normally, I think its part of the recovery. I didn't have any naps during the day. I used to read and get back to sleep about 5am.

    It is good when you sleep through though.
