Clipped bi-lobe now one wek old
I am having problems resting, I slept 2 hrs this am and 2 this afternoon, its now 10 PM tired but can't get to sleep. I read alot today, my husband thinks too much, which is why I am tired but not sleepy. What else do people do to rest??? TV gets old too fast for me. Its cold here in MD, can't sit outside and watch the wildlife. HELP

Hello Nancy
Hello Nancy,
Recovery really is a journey, and I am so glad you are on this side of it. I am 5+ months post op from my clipping and have really come to see that this is a journey i am on. Also it changes as well. I slept more normal at first, and was so elated to be alive. I was still running on fear, and adrenaline. Months 2-4 I did nothing but sleep. I am back for some reason to normal sleeping behavior again and that is good. Many complain of not being able to sleep, or they will fall asleep, and wham wake up , and stay awake. Maybe talk with your doctor if it continues to be bothersome to you. I know i really needed rest. Sleeping is when brain is healing. You have been through so much, so please continue to be good to you. I am also blessed with a supportive family, and hubby has bee a true blessing. Feel free to pm me anytime. I have seen so many movies, and seen them many times, I also try and get out once a day, even if just to store, that is priceless, or a short walk. Take care.... |
Hi Nancy,
You are so early in your recovery so give yourself a big hug, you are doing great!! Sleep patterns get disturbed with brain surgery, it happens alot, not to be negative but I am 4 years post surgery and I rarely sleep through the night unless I take a sleeping pill. Do you have an i pod or MP3 player? They are great little inventions. I listen to music or books at night on an ipod to fall asleep and it works great. That way the light is off and my eyes don't get over tired. If you have an MP3 player you can download books from the library, you mentioned you read alot so thought this would help. Hang in there Nancy, this is a slow, tricky recovery and it takes time, Ruthie |
Thanks for the support-- All of you
I will try some movies, I have been given plenty to watch, I think its mostly that it is so cold here and I don't go outside much. With the coiling last July I didn't sleep for 30 hours afterwards then slept alot, but this clipping, I have not slept as much as I wanted or felt I should
