Hello @gloriajean and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect

Thank you for adding to our discussion about insomnia, a rather troubling disorder. From what you posted it appears that you are able to get to sleep but you are not able to maintain sleep. Is that correct?

Here is a link to some information from Mayo Clinic's website regarding staying asleep, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/insomnia/expert-answers/insomnia/faq-20057824

You mentioned having brain surgery a year ago. Did you have this same type of sleep problem before the brain surgery?
