Sleep Quality After Sleeve

[Justoperated 141]

First 2-3 weeks after surgery my sleep was not refreshing, had lot of nightmares and dreams. It has improved a lot since then. I was never tested for sleep apnea, though I used to snore. Snoring is gone and I feel a lot less sleepy after lunch at work. I used to be really sleepy by 2-3 pm but not any more. I am able to get up in morning without any alarm.

I guess I probably has some degree of sleep apnea which is gone now OR is it just weight loss that makes us more alert?

By the time I lost the first thirty pounds I was sleeping a lot better because I was not waking up every twenty minutes to pee. With the pressure off my bladder I can sleep for hours at a time in spite of drinking so much more fluids.

Hi! I was having the same problem. I would only be able to sleep 3-4 hours a night, and I did have some really weird dreams. I talked to my Surgeon and my regular physician, and said both sleeplessness and weird dreams are very common. They told me to take melatonin. I don't fall asleep in 20 minutes, but I sleep really hard now, and a full 8 hours. Maybe try it! I hope it works!
