Honestly the only way I could get any sleep after my c-sections was to sleep sitting up in bed like propped with pillows for support, or in my recliner or the couch (we have the reclining couch ig it's called). As much as I wanted to sleep in my bed normally straight away it was soooo much easier sleeping upright so it was less strain on me getting up

Movvvvve around as much as you can and beyond what you imagine you can! It helps with the healing and pain relief.
I did that and although it was difficult at first but it was worth it. Raised bed or lots of pillows helps

If you can get it Ild suggest a recliner it was the best thing that happened to me post C-section for my 2 babies

I had to sleep sitting up with a ton of pillows for like 2 weeks.

1 week post c section and the first 5 days I slept sitting up with my pregnancy pillow, now I can lay on either side with my pregnancy pillow in between my legs and a pillow to support my tummy

I was always up feeding my little fella so I would change him and feed him on the couch and watch tv with my breast pillow sometimes fall asleep on the couch I would get massages too

I sleep on my side it helped me feel way better

I found sleeping upright with my pregnancy or V pillow was the best for me. If that wasn't comfortable I laid on the side which was facing the bed to get up and off easier.
Don't push yourself too much though, but definitely make sure you're moving about as much as you feel you can. But make sure you rest, really listen to your body x
