I didn't go way back in the topics but wondered if anyone is having trouble sleeping through the night. I am 10 days out from surgery. Having trouble both getting to sleep and staying asleep. I tried Unisom one night, got to sleep right away, but woke up a few hours later soaked with sweat and headachy. Had to change my nightgown and drink some water. Finally got back to sleep and slept until past noon next day. So that's not a good alternative.

Yes. I take liquid benadryl to help me sleep, but I'm still having trouble staying asleep all night. I usually wake up around 2 or 3 a.m. Yuck! Esp when I then have to be in to work at 7 a.m. I'm 3 weeks post-op. The benadryl always helps me fall asleep pretty quickly though.

they said that is normal, I am almost two months out and still wake up at about 3 am ,, so I get up and use the bathroom and drink some water , goood way to get extra fluids in
