Sleep Update 1/24/2020

After getting over eight hours of sleep on January 12th, hours slept each night has been highly variable but generally trending down again.

I’m not really sure why sleep has been so elusive. I’ve been going to bed earlier, around 10:00 – 11:00 pm, but would still wake up around 2:30 am then have difficulty falling back asleep. Since the surgery, I’ve tried the following:

• Changed mattress
• Purchased a new mattress and bed with adjustable base
• Removed heating blanket
• Lowered output on space heater in bedroom
• Changed cover back to original queen sized comforter

I’m still not getting the temperature right since I woke up all sweaty again last night. Also, the duvet/comforter I was using since surgery is too light in weight. I think I need my heavier comforter that has some weight to it. I sleep better with cooler room temperature but with a heavier blanket to offset the cold.
