Need advise

I stay awake half the night. It's been like this for nearly a year. I have a deviated septum, but it's gotten worse the past year. The Dr. has told me before that the only thing he can do to correct the problem is surgery. I've heard mixed stories about this surgery. I've decided to have it, but I was hoping someone who has had it would let me know how their's turned out. The bottom line is, though, I can't keep not sleeping like I'm doing now. It makes for a miserable day.
