insomnia
Hey all,
I am a just over a month post op and have been very blessed with no complications and life allisretuning to normal. Except I can't seem to get a good night's sleep! I go to the gym (or try to go now 5 days a week, which I think would tire me out) but all I seem to do is toss and turn all night and have trouble dragging my but out of bed in the morning. Is this normal? Is or has anyone else experienced this after surgery? I need to get this in check cause I start back to work in just over a week! HELP!! Thanks all

This is normal, I remember having insomnia while recovering as well. And being tired during the day. I'm not a napper, so I was not as energetic as I had hoped. If you work out in the evening, try working out earlier in the day. Start a bedtime routine, take time to wind down before when you want to go to bed. Warm milk, warm water, etc. Some have said meditation before bed helps them to relax. Soft music/lullabies in a dark room help too. Either that or putting on white noise (a fan or something). It won't happen the first night.

Right now (because I'm off work) I have been going to the gym in the mornings/afternoons bit once I'm back to work it will be after 7pm (I work Downtown TO and take the GO train home to Newmarket) and I don't usually get home till around 7 but hopefully my day plus the gym will knock me out! I am not a napper either but wish I was!
