I though side sleeping was supposed to be best for you?
My shoulder disagrees.
Whenever my stomach hurts i'll remember some recommendation that you're supposed to sleep on your left or right side.
But I never remember which so I just rotate back and forth
Left is better for digestion or something iirc?
Left is better for acid relux.
Oh good, I’m not the only one who rotates in their sleep like a rotisserie chicken
Optimal sleeping position depends on where the dog is in the bed.
Is... Is that an euphemism?
Not to a dog owner....
Can't sleep, clowns will eat me.
Damn I guess I'll just levitate
doctor frowning and shaking his head, like this is a bad idea
i go to bed laying on my side, turn to slep on my stomach, then on my back, and once i'm actually asleep i look like this:
You know what's fun? The post-surgery "you always sleep on this side? Learn to sleep on the other one because you're going to be this way for weeks, motherfucker" sleeping position.
I had jaw surgery a few years back, and I had to adjust to sleeping sitting up (believe me, the surgery made me tired enough to be able to do that) for several weeks because I couldn't risk messing up my jaw while it healed.
Did you sleep in a chair, or sitting in bed?
Sitting in a bed with lots of pillows and blankets to prop me up. I was basically in a sitting position.
If I sleep on my stomach I can't move my neck the next day, right side my right hand goes painfully numb, left side my left hand goes painfully numb, back both hands go numb. There is literally no position I can sleep in that I don't wake up after a couple of hours and have to shift to a different position.
Dude, my arms kept falling asleep at night. I randomly mentioned this to my physical therapist (I was there after a knee surgery) and he put me on a massage bed and pulled my head. Not like some quack chiropractor, but just slowly pulling my head, stretching my neck. Fuckin problem went away and never returned. Closest thing to real magic I have experienced.
Sounds like you need to lop an arm off. Or dig a hole in your bed. https://odditymall.com/arm-slot-mattress-designed-for-side-sleepers
It seems like a good idea, but holy crap those CGI examples are the most unhinged shit ever.
It's like they don't know how arms work.
You know the solution, you just have to sleep while spinning in place.
Has anyone tried this? https://odditymall.com/arm-slot-mattress-designed-for-side-sleepers Looks like the skot would rub your armpit to shreds, but I like the idea.
I didn't, but I feel this will create more problems than it will solve
Hands are either able to freely move, but inside a narrow space, which will traumatize them and extend muscles, or they are squeezed between the chamber walls and those kind-of-filler-pillows, restraining motion.
Also, those who market it as a phone-comfortable bed clearly forget that phones and large narrow holes are a terrible combo. Oh, and for God's sake, forget about ever eating ANYTHING on there.
That's probably an accurate analysis. It's hard to believe that with all the time we spend sleeping we haven't figured out a way to do it comfortably.
Maybe suspend me in a vat of liquid?
There's quite a lot of issues with that, too.
First, breathing. For starters, you shouldn't drown, for which you either have to be strongly fixed in a position with face up out of the liquid (which will be super uncomfy), or you should depend on oxygen mask (which is very dangerous when you're unconscious during sleep)
Second, skin breathes too - and in liquids, the pores close and skin can't breathe - which will eventually lead to hypoxia even if you breathe normally.
Third, skin gets irritated and damaged at prolonged contact (like, you know, 8 hours of sleep a day) with just about any liquid. It should be insanely inert.
Fourth - the thermal conductivity of such liquid should ideally be the same as air - too much (which is just about any liquid) would be harmful for your body's thermal regulation and, again, for skin, too little would make you overheat.
Fifth - you need a liquid in which you can be suspended, which is impossible to precisely measure since our buoyancy constantly changes due to us breathing, and our breathing patterns change as we move between phases of sleep.
TL;DR - There's a reason all those vats are part of sci-fi: as cool as they look, they are insanely impractical.
I like the idea too, but you have to buy proprietary bed sheets.
I sleep best when I have a girl sleeping on me, I since bought a weighted blanket but it's not the same
I've always wanted to be able to sleep on my side whilst hugging some kind of stuffed animal but to no avail. Ever since my SO gifted me a stuffed penguin toy that's large enough to fit in my arms and server as a pseudo-pillow, I've been loving sleeping on my side and have been really comfortable doing so too. I'm the middle spoon most of the time then. :D
Sleeping on my back is best though
I bought a body pillow (without the anime girl) for the same but within days I was in immediate pain come mornings. It was probably just overstuffed but I went back to front sleeping and it immediately disappeared
Well there's your problem, bodypillows don't work tight unless they have anime girls on them
What about anime boys?
I am lucky enough that I fall deep asleep in any position, shape, or form.
That is lucky... But do you wake up with all sorts of weird sorenesses?
Front sleeping is the worst of these by quite a long way though. Last time I did it (after some drinks) it cost me a month of physio.
