Since the surgery, I need to sleep 10 hours a day or I’m useless. I like sleeping but I hope this goes away because who’s got the time?

Einstein slept 11 hours a day. (Ok, he was not a mother, so…)

It’s been about 2-3 weeks since the surgery, right?
It should go away eventually — when my grandmother had her gallbladder out the surgeon said anywhere between 6-12 weeks was pretty normal.

It’s almost a month. I’m fine otherwise but very sleepy.

Uh, oh, you’re in trouble. “Cosmopolitan Magazine” published an article three years ago quoting some medical study that said, “Regular oversleeping means a FORTY-FOUR percent increased risk of death.” Oversleeping definitely killed Einstein at the age of 76 :-), while Thomas Edison, who CLAIMED to sleep only three hours a night, made it all the way to 84. Some studies have stated that chronic insomnia is associated with having a genius-level I.Q . (Telsa is given as an example.)
Ten or so hours at this point after your surgery is fine, even if you consider it a waste of valuable time. I’m surprised that Klara lets you sleep that long.
