I'm 66 and had my j-pouch in 2002 and second phase in Feb of 2003. I seem to get up every 45 minutes to in the beginning and then every two hours. If I get too awake or have a burning BM that makes it impossible to sleep I give up and get dressed. Sometimes it's 3 or 4 AM. As far as medicine go I'm only taking Entivio every 6 weeks, and just recently tested before my last IV to see how much is in my blood. May go to every 4 weeks. I just finished with 6 IV's of Iron Sugrose and blood level is still only at 10.6 from 8.3. Crazy, but still this sleep thing is what is going to be the death of me. I'm a light sleeper, and I sure as hell don't want an accident in bed, and get up when I feel the urge to go. I used to have a hard time getting to sleep, but have found taking Niacinamide along with my normal magnesium 1/2 hour before bed really makes me sleepy.
