Struggling with insomnia - any suggestions?

i've been struggling w/insomnia ever since the surgery.
I do not know how to overcome this problem. even last night, ii was up till 4 am. If anyof the ladies know any remedy, please let us know. thank you.

I have used Valerian root (herb capsules) or the antihistamine Benadryl.

I think it is common to have the insomnia after this surgery, and our routines get all messed up. Once I went to bed and got up at the same time everyday, and cut out naps, things got better.

Here are some suggestions for insomnia:

Hi SuzyQ23,
Thank you for your recommendation. I'll try it this weekend and see how it goes
Have a good weekend.

I don't have a suggestion other than Benadryl (the same ingredient in Tylenol PM that helps you sleep) but you can always play on Games Games Games on this site. Lots of fun and a great way to make friends if you can't sleep anyway!

I haven't been taking naps since the first few days and the insomina is terrible. I am so tired but only sleep a few hours and wake up again. I am even trying some over the counter stuff and its not really helping...

Takes awhile for your body to adjust to all the changes but you should start sleeping better shortly. Some of the things I used earlier on was a children's anti nauseant...here in Canada ours is called Gravol or Celestial Sleepy Time Tea. Both worked for me and now I"m not using anything and I'm sleeping a lot better. Hope this helps....good luck and happy healing
