Many times it hurts so much to sleep that I prefer staying up all night! Recently, following a recommendation from a friend, I bought a long pillow that is generally intended for pregnant women. I tried it over the last few days, and I really felt a certain relief. I will keep you updated on whether it really helps over time!
My optimal sleeping position is sleeping on a big pillow to support my head and neck. I also use one more pillow between my knees. I also try to meditate to wind down - it lowers my stress level and helps me ignore some pain.
I tend to just prop myself up with blankets and pillows until I get situated in a way that is comfortable, I tend to like soft blankets and pillows but a firmer mattress to support my joints.
