Same experience for me. I thought it was just me! I'm about 4 weeks out. I've gone off my pain meds and have tried to not take naps. Hopefully, tonight I'll sleep better. The last 2 nights I haven't been able to sleep before 3 am and then I only sleep 4 hours! I too have had a couple of odd dreams.
Before OHS I slept quite well. Hopefully, once we get on a regular routine of eating well, exercising and no long naps, everything will work its way out.
Good luck.
