Not sleeping well, again

[redbird]

This past night, I kept sleeping in about one-hour chunks. At least three times, I woke up with my left hand feeling both in pain and not wanting to move properly. A minute of flexing things anyway fixed it, but this is weird as well as annoying. I had been sleeping with a stuffed animal tucked under that arm, as I often do; after the second time I woke up that way, I moved it aside. No good, an hour later the same thing, except sans panda. So I grabbed the panda again, because having her does help me sleep.

This last time, my back was also uncomfortable. So I've gotten up for a bit, and will either go back to sleep soon or have some tea, depending in part on whether cattitude wakes up. Seven isn't an unreasonable hour for someone who went to bed at 11:00 to get up. But it doesn't feel like enough sleep, with all those interruptions and my not being well yet.

And yes, I was careful about the caffeine yesterday, and I took my pre-bed valerian.

Maybe your body is starting to adapt to how limited your post-surgery movement is, but unfortunately that's causing other problems? I do hope you heal enough that you can start to sleep more naturally soon.
