Hi, Welcome, this is Chat Doctor. Sleep deprivation post surgery can occur in a lot of patients, especially after a major surgery like bypass. If you have problem lying down straight, it could mean that you may have some fluid collection in lung. Such patients could not just lye down straight & have breathlessness on doing so. If that is so, I'll recommend you to keep your bed propped up so that fluid does not accumulate in lungs. Also consult your primary surgeon you will do certain tests to conform so. If you have simple loss of sleep & not having breathing trouble on lying down, for such patients we give Tab Alprazolam 0.25\u00a0mg at night for sleeping. ThanksTake care
