Has anyone had trouble sleeping just before surgery?

My surgery is in 11 days and I am having a terrible time getting enough sleep. I go to sleep in about the usual amount of time, but wake up a few hours later and can't go back to sleep. Sometimes I wake up really early - like this morning - 4 a.m. I can't do any work around the house or I will wake up my family and by the time it gets light enough to take a walk I'm so tired all I want to do is go back to bed. The only good thing is that when I don't sleep well I look terrible so no one at work is questioning my need for surgery! I have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine so I know it's not that. Should I ask my doctor for a few sleeping pills? Any suggestions?
