Insomnia

I am almost 2 months post surgery and I am having a very difficult time sleeping at night. I have prescription sleeping pills, they work but, I find myself waking up 30 minutes -1 hour later. I can be exhausted when I go to sleep. The same thing happens. Either wake up or have insomnia. 

Can anyone make a suggestion?

i was told that vitamin D will help. Any help will be much appreciated!

    Sleep

     

    I hate to say this but I was the same for a few months after my treatment, it just takes a while for the body to get adjusted again. Other problem for me was the dry mouth would wake me up, then I started using Stoppers4 dry mouth spray and it helps me a lot. I was able to sleep for 2 to 3 hours before waking up to spray.

     

     

     

    I hope you can find something that works for you

    It gets better.

    For me, it is when I lay down and it's quite, the mind takes off in all directions.  It got better in time.
