Post-Surgery Sleep Setup Planner
Getting comfortable enough to actually sleep is one of the hardest parts of recovery. Pick your surgery for an illustrated position, a pillow setup, a night-by-night timeline, and the red flags to watch for.
General comfort guidance, not medical advice. Always follow the specific instructions from your surgeon or care team first - they know your case. If something feels wrong, call them.
