no sleep

I am almost two months post op surgery and since the surgery I have not been able to sleep. I always find myself just wide awake at night and unable to fall asleep. I may fall asleep like 8 or 9 but I wake up again about 12 then I'm up for a few hours then I wake up again at 5 or 6 then I am up all day literally. I be wanting to go to sleep but can't. Have anybody else experienced no sleep and know what I could do or take to get more rest.

Yes!  I always have had problems falling asleep, but since the surgery, I have trouble staying asleep.  I ended up getting a prescription for Alazopram (Xanax) to take at night and it totally does the trick.

Have you tried changing your workout schedule to right before bed? (Or even an hour or two before?) That tires me out and isn't a medical solution to the problem. :) 

Have you tried Melatonin? 

Why are you going to bed so early?  If you sleep from 8 until midnight, that is 4 hours of sleep, and then, if you sleep from 3-6 that is another 3 hours, so that is 7 hours of sleep, which is probably what most people get. How many hours of sleep do you normally get?

Perhaps if you would wait until 10 or 11 to go to sleep, you would be more tired and would sleep better?
