my surgery was 11-21, I keep taking 4 hour naps. any one have same experience?

Oh yeah, the first 3 or 4 days I was sleeping on and off like crazy and still was able to sleep through the night. I'm not really a nap person and this was unusual for me, I don't know if it was the medicine or just the fact that I had surgery, but I wanted to sleep a lot. I got back on track through the next week when I went back to work.

I found my bed too uncomfortable to sleep in I slept on the couch for a week, the first few days I would wake up with some discomfort and walking would help with the gas and liquid Tylenol or pain meds would help with the pains. Your body is recovering from surgery, if it says it's tired and needs sleep, then by all means listen to it! This is the time for healing

Yep lots of naps.... worse with pain meds, so I switched to just plain tylenol.

yes, I have been sleeping outrageous amounts of time! I quit taking pain meds bc it made it worse & made me dizzy. glad i'm off work for holiday! thanks all, I love this forum! so comforting to know i'm not alone!
