I too researched this sleeplessness last year. All I read and my surgeon said it's normal and only time will help. Good news is your sleep will come back but it going to be a very long time. Just keep trying to rest.

I had my surgery 8 weeks ago and sleep 0-2 hours a night. I have had maybe 5 days of 4-5 hours. It’s not due to pain, I just can’t sleep. I can’t nap either. I am a zombie. How long will this go on? Sleep meds don’t work, melatonin doesn’t work, meditation doesn’t work. Any help? Thinking of trying a sleep clinic.
