Difficulties with Sleeping on your Side
Posted by Eileen Pelletier on August 06, 2018. 0 Comments
The pillow I designed worked wonders for me. I slept through the night pain free! I was elated, and excited every night, to attach my knee pillow to my leg before bed. It seemed amazing that after years of discomfort in bed, making it impossible to sleep more than a few hours at a time, everything had changed.
One other benefit that surprised me: No back pain when I got out of bed in the morning. What?! I started reading literature about sleeping on your side. All the articles talked of the importance of correct sleep posture for pain free sleep. I thought the back pain was due to my age, and exercising, which I had stopped doing, but saw no improvement. Turns out that when sleeping, you must align your hips (if you sleep on your side), and keep your spine in a neutral position.
