Sleep Issues After Radical Prostatectomy

My sleep has been horrible throughout this post-ADT experience. I seem to wake up several times each night, most often in 1.5 to 2 hour intervals. And it's typically not due to needing to urinate.

I suspect my sleeping difficulties are primarily due to ADT considerations, not from prostate surgery or radiation treatments.

Unfortunately, I have not found anything that has been beneficial in restoring or improving my sleep.

This problem does seem to get better over time. When I first started ADT, I definitely had the problem but after a few months, it seems to get a lot better.

Hey Kenk,

Thank you for your input, man. I am not scheduled for ADT. I am not sure why my sleep issues started. I found out in December 2024 that I have cancer, and I did not have sleep issues then. It's weird they started now. Things are improving, however. I finally had to resort to medication, as I could not go to work on 3 hours. I'm using them less now though. 🙂
Thanx again for your input. Take care, man. Best wishes.
