How’s the earthquake

 

Minus the stiff lower back I get virtually every night and this really odd throbbing hip pain I've been getting lately in my sleep....pretty good. I actually haven't had a case of sleep paralysis in a few years, I used to get it pretty regularly. Its awful the first few times when you don't know wtf is happening, I legitimately thought I was having a seizure and about to die. After that it's just annoying really

 

I can be on the brink of total exhaustion, finally climb into bed and then my brain kicks into high gear thinking about shit that happened 10 years ago lol. And I'm up for another hour or two. Melatonin helps quite a bit

 

New mattress will change things.

Better yet, the correct mattress will.

 

Yeah I need to test out some I think. We stayed at my father in law's place over Thanksgiving and he gave us his room to use, which had a much different mattress than ours (stiffer but not too stiff). I thought for sure I would sleep like a baby but the issues were just as bad. I need to go to Sit & Sleep and spend like 5 nights in there trying out different kinds

 

Getting up at 5am has made it so my brain can no longer fuck with me, head on pillow... fuck im out within 2mins if I'm not chatting.

That was how it was the first 6-ish months after our daughter was born, you're just way too exhausted and going to bed too early to have a messed up sleep pattern. Until the baby screams again lol.

 

That's when I get up as well but I tend to beat the alarm and am usually up between 4-5am even on weekends. At least I can "in theory" get more stuff done.

 

I don't know how but I chose what I think is the "right" mattress because my back wouldn't hurt after waking up every morning.

Bought it maybe some weeks after I was getting over my sciatica. Made a hell of a difference.

To add to this, I've been a side sleeper for as long as I can remember. That is, when I wasn't forced to sleep in other positions IE military.

But once I got that new mattress, I found myself always sleeping on my back.

 

That's the thing, if I sleep on my back then my lower back eventually starts to hurt real bad, waking me up and I roll onto my side which feels amazing. An hour or two later my hip on that side is throbbing like a mfk'er. And we have a pretty soft mattress, but same thing happened with the stiffer one too.

I have found it helps to put a pillow under my legs, at least for awhile. Might have to get one of those bigger body style ones

 

See, that was me too.

I'd fall asleep on my back if I was tired AF only to wake up in the middle of the night sore, and turn to my side.

Ever since switching mattresses, I only ever sleep on my back.

 

I miss being able to sleep anywhere, anytime, in any position

I think this is where we start saying youth is wasted on the young

 

Laugh all you want, but I have one of these and fucking love it.

Hell, no laughs here, I actually do have one just like that. But its part of my camping gear, I bring it with me to put in the tent because it's easier than packing multiple pillows lol. I need to get one for my bed at home though

edit - actually mine's just a cheap one though, not a tempurpedic kind.

 

Boy have I got a pillowcase design for you
