Morning hippies and hippies to be!
For those of you who can't sleep following your op, just thought I would let you know it gets lots better.
From sleeping 1-2 hours per night with a daytime nap and long hours on the iPad or watching TV, I am now slleping better than I have done for 2 years or more.
Since sleeping restrictions wee lifted, I am sleeping on either side with V pillow between legs and am so comfy and cosy, I am drifting off into the most lovely sleep. Might wake up for an hour or so, but can then go back to sleep instead of remaining awake for hours.
I am 5.5 weeks post op and I love to dream - I must be having good quality sleep, because I'm dreaming all sorts of lovely dreams!
At one time, I felt as if I would never sleep again and so lovely to have NO PAIN - wonderful.
Hope your sleep patterns are getting better and have a lovely day y'all
Best wishes Linda xx

For the first two weeks I only averaged 2 hours per night, now 4 1/2 weeks I too can sleep with long pillow between my legs. It's heaven!
So defiantly gets better😴😴😴😴😴💤💤💤💤💤💤

it's so good when you can sleep on your side again isn't it, instead of lying there like a sardine in a tin!!

I entirely agree with you...I am sleeping so well at the moment, it's wonderful not to have any pain .

im nearly 4 weeks, and I've tried a pillow between my legs and can only manage a few mins on my un operated side, not sure if I need more pillows or if it's too soon....
so glad when I can have a good nights sleep, I wake up with back pain whether I take pain killers before bed or not!

i am sure your sleep will improve given a week or two - my sleep pattern was non existent at 4 weeks
Hope you have a better night
