Q Since surgery, I can't sleep deeply and keep waking up. How can I improve my sleep quality?
A After surgery, pain, tension, and hormonal changes can make sleep shallow. Keeping consistent bed and wake times, keeping your body warm, and cutting back on screens and caffeine before bed brings you closer to restorative sleep.
Detailed Answer
After a hysterectomy, wound discomfort, tension, and hormonal changes from ovary removal can cause light or interrupted sleep. Keeping consistent bedtimes and wake times, avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and late-night snacks for several hours before bed, and reducing exposure to bright screens can help. Keeping your body warm also supports comfortable sleep.
