Sheena -- sleeping comfortably was one of the hardest challenges during my recovery. I finally ended up in my recliner with a pair of earplugs to block out everything. After a couple of nights, I was sleeping like a log every night. It took about six weeks before I could lay in bed. And even then it was not a picnic for another week or so. I am a stomach sleeper so I automatically rolled to my stomach in bed. After about eight weeks, everything went back to normal and I've not lost a wink since then. Hang in there.....this too shall pass. Just get as comfortable as you can. Don't let anyone tell you what or where to do your sleeping. You need to be in charge of your body during this recovery time. Good luck.
