Sleep?

I have to leave the house at 4:45 am. I am not sure how I am going to sleep tonight. Anyone else have this issue the night before?

Yes, I had some trouble sleeping the night before my surgery.

The upside is that it doesn't matter if you're well-rested when you go to the hospital... and you'll quite a bit after your surgery.

to you. May you find some sleep tonight.

I had my Lap and ablation done in November last year and I didn't sleep but maybe an hour the night before. This time I am sure I wont sleep at all! I asked if I could take a Benadryl the night before my Ablation to help me sleep, my dr said it was ok but it didn't work at all.

I think one thing I am looking forward to during and after surgery is sleeping. I have been so anxious, I have not been sleeping well for a month. Good luck to ya. My rest find you

Lots of friends will be here to keep you company through the night....we really need a chat room!

Sleep? What is that? Since I've found this site I stay up way too late reading and reading and reading.

I would think it is very normal to have trouble sleeping the night before surgery but I think that won't really hurt you. It's not like you have a lot to do physically while they are doing the surgery.

I asked the doctor today if I can take my Rozerem if I needed it and she said sure. She also offered me some thing to calm me down but I told her that was not necessary.

Hope you find some peace.

I am thinking I wish my check-in was so early I am scheduled at 11:00 check-in I would just stay up all night and post LOL I agree a Chat room would be great open for all night worries

I asked the anesth. if I could take something for sleep the night before at my pre-op. I believe I took a benzo.

I find myself up late reading this site too but it helps. I am at least looking forward to sleep after surgery! One positive outlook on the whole thing. I am nesting and feeling like I am on an emotional roller coaster with the lack of sleep and anxiety. I agree with the chat area for the people who are up late!!!
