I just had 2 stage scoliosis surgery on May 17 and May 22. For the most part, I am doing quite well. However, I am having trouble sleeping through the night. I can't even sleep through half the night. I've tried going to bed early when I am first tired, I've tried going to bed later to make sure I am really tired, I've tried drinking hot decaf tea, a couple of nights I took melatonin, another couple of nights I tried xanax, nothing works. I keep waking up after an hour/hour and a half. Only a few nights have I woke up, went to the bathroom, climbed back into bed and fell back to sleep but this is not the norm. I end up waking up around 6 am and am hungry so I eat breakfast and because I'm tired, I go back to bed. It's usual then that I can sleep about two hours. Then I get up and try to do a few things around the house or I walk inside. I try to take only a short nap in the morning and if I need to only a short nap in the afternoon. I've even gone days without an afternoon nap and I still can't sleep in the evening.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what have you done?
