How can you sleep sitting up after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get used to it...: I can sleep sitting up almost anywhere. I say it's from all the boring medical texts i had to read as a student - we get a lot of practice... And i mean sitting straight up on the couch. You will only have to do this for a short period of time and sooner or later your body will just crave sleep so much that it will start to come easier. Have faith!
