I'll look into it thank you I'm going to try and sleep now

Yeah, falling asleep during the day then makes it harder to fall asleep at bedtime, unfortunately! There is a book by Andrew Holecek (longtime meditation teacher) called Reverse Meditation-worth a read.

I've tried taking meds up to an hour before sleep and I'll try meditation but I do bet grumpy if I don't sleep or I end up falling asleep during the day

Pain is certainly challenging for sleep. Trying to alleviate as much pain as possible prior to sleep, meaning taking whatever pain medication you are using well in advance of bedtime, utilizing sustained release meds where possible (so they last through the night)and recognizing it may be more difficult than usual can all be helpful. Another approach might be to meditate, or use a guided meditation in bed instead of trying to sleep. Supporting deep relaxation can allow sleep to emerge whereas “trying” to sleep can have a paradoxical agitating affect.
