Sleeping like a log after ablation

Just wondering how everyone is sleeping after having their ablation? I had my ablation early last month and I sleep so deeply now. So much so my husband checks me. I am sleeping so deeply that I mustn’t be changing positions and wake with sore neck/ shoulders.

Yep, you often sleep very deeply as your body needs deep sleep to Heal itself, enjoy.

Oh you lucky person, would love to sleep so deep. Perhaps your AF was disturbing your sleep before your ablation.

If you had general anesthesia, it could be that, too. It takes a while for it to move out of the body. I slept a lot, too. The body needs it to heal.

I had the same.

I think it means the ablation has worked

Hi, I didn't sleep at all the first night after the ablation that afternoon. I literally was awake all night and actually dosed off for 5 mins early morning. It may have been the general anaesthetic cocktail! Did anyone have a similar experience?
