Insomnia?

OK, I've read, watered my plants, watched a stupid show on TV.....it's after 2:30am and I'm wide awake. Tomorrow I am going to be a total wreck. I tried the Tylenol PM that my surgeon recommended but they didn't do a thing. I just want to get some sleep. Is that asking too much?

I hear yah!! I'm up every day @ between 3-4 AM. Try not to nap during the day, but still am up . I just can't lay in bed and toss and turn- drives me crazy. Well, at least you're up too!! cj

If it persists I would see your PCP's right away to get a temporary sleeping aid, like ambien. Sleep is way too important to miss. (& studies show that a lack of it causes metabolism problems, to boot!) My surgeon did mention to me at one point that for whatever reason, postops do seem to get a high number of insomnia cases. Good luck to you and call that PCP! Emily
