Please get treated: For your insomnia. Start w/your doc. I see that you have several health conditions. They may be generating the sleep problem. Sleep deprivation will make everything else seem worse. Peace and good health. Clinical hypnosis and other stress management techniques can help.

Low side: 2 hours a night of sleep is lower than average. However, daily sleep time can vary greatly from person to person. If you are not feeling rested or is drowsy during the day, then you are not sleeping enough. Hard to know whether your surgery has anything to do with your sleep or not from your question.
