Problems sleeping?

I am not able to sleep more than 2 to 3 hours at any one time....anyone else having this problem? It's driving me crazy! Another question is: when does it stop hurting to sleep on your side? Thanks for any help, ideas, advice, etc. Love, Gina

Hi Gina, I'm having problems getting to sleep but then I usually stay asleep. Keeping fingers crossed. To sleep on my side, I put a pillow next to me and hold that to my stomach and then go to sleep. Last night was the first night I was able to sleep on my back comfortably. Good luck.

What a great question, I can't sleep on my left side, have been sleeping on my right since night of surgery and the last three nights have been able to sleep on my back. I really have no trouble sleeping though.

I can't sleep at all. When I finally do fall asleep, it's usually for a long period of time. I have also been sleeping in our recliner since I got home from the hospital. I tried the bed...and it was way too uncofortable, especially seeing as I like to sleep on my side. This way, I don't strain myself. Surgery was 7/8/05 Kadria

GINA , IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED . I FELT ALONE . I CANT GET TO SLEEP AND WHEN I DO ITS ONLY FOR A LIL BIT AND I STILL FEEL HALF AWAKE . UGGG I WANT SOME SLEEP . SARA

I wonder if I got into this bad habit while at the hospital...every two hours they were coming in to check my vitals. Hmmm...I doubt it since I was only there for one night. I can't believe that I am not grouchy from lack of sleep! Another shocker is that I do have energy (although I believe that it would be higher if I actually slept through the night).

I felt that way in the hospital..although since I have been home I seem to be sleeping in 2-3 hr spurts...I do sleep in the bed but its not the most comfortable sleep...gonna try sleeping on my side though. Kelly

For the first week, I couldn't sleep on anything but my back. Very uncomfortable since I'm a side/stomach sleeper. I was lucky though, on the 8th day, like magic, I was able to sleep on my side and a couple days later, on my stomach. Everything now is back to normal. But everyone is different....some people, months out, still have trouble sleeping on their side. Just use lots of pillows if that's how you have to sleep. But you are soooo not alone in the having trouble sleeping dept. I think we've all been there. It will pass...I promise. Meredith
