This week’s sleep is not much better than last week. It looks like about four hours daily, broken up into multiple sleep sessions. I’m still always tired and the lack of sleep can’t be good for my recovery. I think I’m able to fall asleep when I lie down but wake up after only a few hours. I have a humidifier on the entire time so it’s not too dry in my bedroom. Actually I may have the heat turned on too high since I’ve woken up in a sweat several times. I’ll try having the room temperature lower and use more covers like I did before surgery.
I now think I should have bought a larger bed when I had the chance. I went from a regular twin bed to a twin XL but the old bed had a frame so I felt it kept me in bed. The new bed is just a mattress on a adjustable platform and I feel like I may fall off the bed, especially when I have the back raised. Should have gone with a full XL even if it takes up more floor space in my tiny bedroom.
