My ostomy, Willy, is a night owl and I am not. I suffer from insomnia, but that means my sleep is more precious and I'm still not a night owl despite my brain taking hours to fall asleep. Oh, and I am incapable of napping. So! I need sleep. But Willy, my ileostomy, has other ideas. Here it is 3am and I emptied him... he was full... at 10 and midnight and 2:30. But it seems I only empty him once during the day. Maybe he's confused. He is new, not even a week old, but what gives? Will Willy switch to a daytime routine ever? And I fear pooping him at night or him getting too full and gushing over.
