Hi Linda , Try writing down anything that you might be worried about . Getting out and about during the day , little walks . Gentle use of an exercise bike . If you wake up at night , get up have a warm drink and try sleeping on the sofa or go back to bed when you start to feel tired again . Listen to something boring on the radio that you have no interest in and then you fall asleep . Have a milky drink before you go to bed . It can be difficult sleeping after surgery , I found sleeping propped up with a few pillows helped a lot . It will improve , it ‘s still very early days .
