Why is sleep so important after an operation?
Sleep is an essential, natural and active function of the mind and body that preserves brain activity, improves the immune and cardiovascular systems and promotes tissue repair.
What are the effects of sleep deprivation after an operation?
Sleep deprivation can cause serious issues. Polygraphic studies show that the sleeping pattern of several patients in the days following surgery was altered1. Leading to:
- A decrease in or loss of the REM phase
- In some cases, even complete sleep deprivation2
Sleep deprivation post-surgery is associated with:
- More extended hospitalisation
- Slower recoverytion
- Poorer emotional state and quality of life3–7
What does supine sleep mean?
Following surgery, supine sleep, which means lying straight on your back, is the most recommended sleeping position.
The supine position allows your body to rest in a naturally aligned posture:
- Your arms are relaxed at your side
- Your legs are relaxed
- The toes of your feet point towards the ceiling
Which surgeries benefit most from back sleeping post-operative?
The surgeries that benefit the most from sleeping on the back are listed here. The supine position allows your body to rest in a naturally aligned posture.

Training before the operation without the complications of pain and fear can help avoid sleep disturbances.
We recommend adapting to sleeping on your back at least 3-4 weeks before surgery to minimise the unfamiliarity of a new sleeping posture combined with the discomfort of even a minor surgery
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any specific queries or concerns, should be discussed with your GP or Surgeon/Medical Specialist before and after the operation.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
Computational models showed that side and prone (front) sleep cause mechanical pressure on the face, altering the fibromuscular layers of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). These can cause an accentuation in the face and neck wrinkles. Therefore supine (back) sleeping posture is considered the best to avoid forming fine lines and wrinkles over time8,9.
Your Waking Beauty Layered Sleep System® will support you in sleeping on your back going forward ensuring your face remains sleep wrinkle free and your sleep is restful and comfortable.
