Sleep

How long are we meant to sleep sitting/propped up for after surgery?

I was told 2 weeks of sleeping upright and 6 weeks until side sleeping. Hope that helps 👍🏻

Night one of sleeping propped up and didn’t go well… I got 2 hrs max! Lol x

I’m 2 weeks post op today I tried to sleep flat on a few pillows last night but didn’t feel right was really uncomfortable. Not sure if it’s because I’m used to be propped right up or that I normally sleep on side. I’ve had broken sleep every night 😞

1-2 weeks for laying flat and 6 for side. Listen to your body it will tell you what’s comfortable. Sleeping has changed completely for me and it’s still difficult to get a full night without waking up with some form of boob ache
