how do you sleep?

Do you sleep on your back, on your stomach or on your side?
I was having a look at the IKEA pillows and apparently they have a different one based on the position you sleep in.

 

Back and side. I have a contour pillow and I quite like it.

 

I sleep on my stomach. Ten years ago I broke my leg and was plastered from thigh to toes. It made it difficult to turn over on my front, but I managed it and laid with my plastered toes hanging over the end of the bed!

 

All of them, but not at the same time.

 

LOL! I'd probably be all over the shop too but have to sleep in a limited space. I use a CPAP machine so need to sleep in a bit of a contained position to keep from pulling the machine to the floor.

 

I have to sleep with a pillow between my legs to stop back and leg pain, but one of the best things that I have bought is a Silver Lining inflatable pillow. http://www.slpco.f9.co.uk/
I still only get around two to three hours sleep a night, but it does help. I would love to have one full night of sleep. :(

 

It seems that in my case, I'm nearly as active when I'm asleep as I am when I'm awake, so I sleep in all manner of positions, and sometimes several different locations throughout the night.

 

mostly on my stomach, or side.

 

Badly! I have bursitis in my hips and I am a side sleeper so I sleep on a ripple mattress topper... which does help a little bit. But I hate sleeping on my back so I wriggle until I get side comfy!

I like the look of those silver lining pillows...

according to my husband on the rare occation that he sees me sleeping ( i work nights and tend not to catch up the next day) i always go to sleep on my front and as soon as i am fast asleep i turn on to my back,

But who has time to sleep? i can always think of some else that i should or could be doing

 

I usually sleep fine, but not last night.

It's exactly a week now since the hernia operation, recovery is going well and wounds are healing nicely, but they've now reached the ITCHY stage.
Nearly drove me mad last night!! :wallbang: :gaagh:
After about an hour of fidgeting, tossing and turning I ended up downstairs, pacing about the place just to take my mind off the ITCHING which was driving me CRAZY!!!

Think I eventually dropped off about 2am.

 

Glad it's healing nicely Trunky. Try holding a facecloth or similar rinsed in hot water near but not on the area, that might help with the itching.

 

Start off on my back, propped right up with 4 pillows so that I am almost in a sitting up position, can't get off to sleep any other way, but wake up on my side with 2 pillows usually on the floor!!!!
