A friend of mine had radical 360 surgery (on her back and sides) and I was wondering, will sleeping longer help her heal faster? How many hrs of sleep/day is optimum? How many hrs of sleep is too many/not effective?
I really appreciate your help!

Tell her to rest as much as she feels like and take her pain meds as prescribed by the Dr. I had percocet initially, but switched to vicodin after only a few days. Used that for about another week and a half.
I was told that your body can heal as fast or as well if you're in pain. If you're in pain you probably won't rest well.

Sound sleep not assisted by sedatives keeps cells and system rejuvenating. Hastens healing . 6 to 8 hrs is normal in many
