belly sleeper here....and wake up that way...husband says i move and kick all night...

I actually find that I have much, much less pain when I sleep on my back. I also have low back problems, but if I turn onto my side without knowing, my whole body is racked with pain when I wake up. I literally have to roll off the bed. I also sleep with a pillow under my knees. It takes the strain off my back and keeps me in that position.

Side sleeper here. I was ill when I was pregnant with all three of my kids and had to sleep on my left side to keep my blood pressure down. Got used to it. But hubby says I am all over the bed and rolling all night.

Hubby says that I sleep as if I am on a roatisiere (sp?).Turning and rolling all night.

If I sleep on my stomach my arms and shoulders lock up and It takes me forever to get moving and I hurt like the dickens!
I say sleep is the most important thing and if I'm sleeping (which I do very little of) you better leave me the heck alone!!! :)

I take my Melatonin and pretty much sleep in one spot (side) all night.

i toss and turn all night.. i start out on my one of my sides then i am on my back and then i switch allnight... i now this cause i wake up constantly... and my legs are always moving when i am sleeping.. annoying..**hugs**

I can only sleep on either side.
Any other way would only cause pain.

I start out in my right side,and end up on my back.

I used to toss and turn all night long in the bed. Then we bought an all foam bed -- not Tempurpedic -- but it has the same concept. It has dense foam on the bottom, less dense foam next, then latex foam layer then finally on top, it has the memory foam. I LOVE this bed! I no longer toss and turn in my sleep.

What sleep? lol I never feel like I truely sleep. And I'm a mover and talker, when I do sleep. Hope your day is going well.

thanks i have terrible time getting to sleep

I toss and turn all night long

BACK SLEEPER, WOULD LIKE TO BE ON MY SIDE, BUT THE STIFFINESS WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO. WAKING IN THE NIGHT TO GO TO THE BATHE,IS THE WORST FOR ME, I STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF BED AND BACK INTO IT. I WAKE UP IN THE MORN ON MY BACK.....HLENE

The only way to know if sleeping on your back is causing you more pain, is to let him wake you up and move you back to your side. You might be surprized that you are in less pain the next morning.

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT sleep on my back. I have serious lower back problems, and if I'm on my back in the morning, then I have so much pain that I can't even breath. So I ALWAYS try to stay on my side. Makes it easy, because I don't move around during the night. When I move, I wake completely up, and know everything I'm doing, so I always am sure to just turn to the other side. Can't sleep on my belly. Makes my back even WORSE, cuz I have size J cup boobies.

I say give it a try and let him wake you and turn you. Just warn him ahead of time, that you might be mean to him but don't mean it.
