Anyone have Insomnia Post Op?

Its insane. I'm up till 3-4 am, and the crazy thing is I'm not even super tired when I wake at 7. Whats up with that? Reduce your calories, reduce sleep? Anyone else, or am I the only weirdo?

    It is possible that as you loose weight you are actually sleeping more effectively so your body which is used to not having effective sleep is now adjusting to the more effective sleep you are getting

So guys..there is a major shock to your system, followed by a tidal wave of hormones from stored fat, not to mention mental changes you deal with like hunger issues etc.. Is it any wonder that sleep patterns would change?!

I found myself having bouts of insomnia until I really ramped up the working out in week 6. Hitting the gym five days a week and sleepy time tea have helped.

Ive got that same problem happening

You are definately not alone. I was sleeved on April 4th and I have slept horribly. It takes me forever to fall asleep and I wake up on and off all night. I had ambien that I was prescribed previously but never took. I asked my surgeon and he said it was alright to take. I took half a pill last night, and although I fell asleep fast I didn't stay that way. I am going to try a whole pill tonight. I hope it gets better!
