Recovery: It takes several weeks to recover from surgery. During that time, sleep activity and appetite patterns are likely to be different from normal. Talk to your doctor.

Common: Sometimesbit is related to slow withdrawal of anesthetic meds, sometimes to alterations in your activity level, sometimes due to residual discomfort, and sometimes due to post CABG depression. Most of these are temporary.
