Anyone else out there who cannot sleep?
Yes. I'm having a time getting over a hernia surgery. If I move the wrong way and it feels like I'm getting stabbed with Rambo's knife so I sleep what I can in my desk chair. It is too painful getting out of bed or off a sofa to lay down to sleep. So, a night's sleep for me is usually several one-hour naps at best. This is really getting old. Monday will be five weeks since I had the surgery. I'm going to need a butt replacement soon if I don't get better. This is the worst hernia surgery I've had out of five of them.
I had to do the home one which was not accurate. No one fits my schedule and no one has a bed that raises a bit for my back. The only way I can get to sleep is on my side. The CPAP I had just didn't fit. It kept clamping my nose shut then tried to blow me up like I was sticking my head out of a car window at speed. I sold the damn thing.My problem wasn’t falling asleep. I’d be out within a minute of laying down. My problem was staying asleep. I’d wake up at 2ish every morning. Finally got a CPAP for the apnea and go the whole night. I sleep through those little urges to go to the bathroom too. Before, it was like, well I’m awake I might as well get up to pee.
If you suspect you might have apnea, get a sleep study done. It’s been a life changer for me.
