Is anyone else who's post-op not able to sleep in anymore?

I hope I put this under the right category! I didn't see a sleep topic in the choices I had. :-D Anyway, I'm about 3.5 months post-op, down 90 lb., and I'm not able to sleep anymore!! I mean, I have absolutely no problems falling asleep (I never have) but before surgery, I'd usually be in bed at about 10:30 - 11:00 p.m., and I'd wake up when my alarm went off (generally about 7:30 - 7:45 a.m., and I'd wake up soooo tired, headachy sometimes, and I'd grumble and complain as I was getting out of bed about how tired I was, how I needed more sleep, etc. Even if I got 8 or 9 hours of sleep, I'd STILL be tired. I even had to set two alarm clocks because sometimes I'd sleep through one of them! Anyway, now, for about the last month or so, I've been going to bed about 1:00 a.m. and getting up at least 30 or 45 minutes before my alarm even goes off! (Usually about 7:00 a.m.) I wake up refreshed and ready to go. I suppose this is a good thing, but I really enjoyed sleeping in...that was one of my favorite things to do! lol I asked my surgeon about it, and he said that judging by the symptoms I had before surgery, I was probably more than likely developing mild sleep apnea, and that's been taken care of now. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has had this "problem"? lol thanks!
