Isabella Brand thank you
Ascendcy you’re welcome 😬
I always look for these kind of comments 🙏🏼 thx 😇😬
Fiddlesticks dito! That’s why I commented it because I couldn’t find one 😂

Back sleeping is very hard on the rib cage. When I sleep on my back I snore and my wife elbows me in the ribs.
Exactly.
🤣 I apologize. I don't mean to laugh but that was funny!
Scientific fact 😂
Then you have to put your pillow on your wife's face.

Thanks!
Thanks
Thank you
Thank you, I really didn’t want to listen to them 😂
Cheers mate
I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate that you guys show free or cheap options for "health tools" like tennis balls and towels. Help for everyone is a truly beautiful practice.
*Just great!* these are the *only* 2 positions Ive been sleeping in for the last 30 years! 😞
Jonny DIY Lol I've been sleeping like that all my life, never had any problems.
Best sleeping position for your spine and internal organs is to sleep on your right side. This is how Muhammad peace be upon him used to sleep. And most likely all the messengers and prophets since their religion is one.
How would you even know that
Taha Babikir I mean it's either right side or on my stomach for me, I really can't sleep otherwise.
Thebaneo123 The only slave here is you, you're enslaved to your own delusions. Pathetic, yet I pity you for being such a low form of life.
If I sleep on my stomach I fall asleep in like a minute but if I sleep on my back its impossible to fall asleep for me.
GKrastz I fall into a very intense dream and it feels like im gonna die so I don’t sleep on my back lol especially when I’m high
King Judo same i cant sleep high on my back or without music shits not fun😪
Kendrik Doughty damn I was JUST about to pop a boner then realized it was a joke
GKrastz me too!!! 😂
I can't dream when I sleep on my back.
Sooooo happy to see the reruns of past episodes with just the two of you! Will be happily revisiting this valuable info.
I've often thought I'd like to have a massage table or a chiropractors table to sleep on. That way I could sleep on my stomach with my head nestled in the face cradle. ☮️💞🙏🏼
Same
Even though this was uploaded in 2018, it feels as if it was uploaded in 1988 lol
I thought it was 30 years video 😂
It's the snappy humor
That's hilarious
For real lmao I checked the date to see if this was too old to watch. That maybe things have changed since the 90s 😂
What is your point ? I just watched to learn . The tips are very helpful . I really don't get your point.
I wish I could take my arms off while I'm sleeping. It would be so much more comfortable.
Rose _ but how’d you take the second one off?
VG MJ use your feet
@@valentinagmj9333 Your mouth?
Same lol
Same
With obstructive sleep apnea, my doctor recommended side sleeping. I've been researching all day how to set up the bed and pillows so that I'm aligned as well as possible and comfortable too. Yikes, you guys are way smarter than anyone, putting it all together and adding the specifics of why (mid range position, e.g.) that no one else spoke of or even understands .... down to earth and real experts to boot. Thank you!!!
These two killed it. Actually made the video a normal, fun time. Thanks for educating us on this. I knew I was right when I lifted my arm a little so that my side won't be suffering. Be safe everyone and be well♥ 😊. Doing a little of research never hurts.
This intro is literally the most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life 16/10
100%
I was instantly hooked 😂
Made me want to die
it's almost out of a tim & Eric skit
😂😭💀
Damn I knew stomach would be in here.. still not switching, it’s too comfy
Then pay the chiropractor later and you're Golden
Zsurvivalist chiropractors are the biggest scam artists out there.
@@PlumpHotdog uhhh no, clearly misinformed
Zsurvivalist not changing my position and I’m not paying a chiropractor either. I’ll be good.
Ive been sleeping this way too. You wont have problems if you properly situate yourself.
Still very helpful! I'm pregnant now and need to sleep on my side but I started experiencing shoulder pains. Now I know how to solve it! Thank you!
One thing that they didn’t mention during the entire ‘side’ sleeping position spiel is that if your mattress is soft enough to let your hip and shoulder sink in, you don’t need all of those random pillows everywhere. Just a big one under your head and maybe one between your knees. A lot of ppl think firm and extra firm etc, but if you are a side sleeper and have wide shoulders and / or hips, a soft mattress really helps.
Then what the fuck do I do I’m a stomach sleeper that’s the only way I can go to sleep thankfully I don’t have any problems they mentioned in the video
Indeed my friend!!!
@@NovelVanguard a bit late but id imagine softer is better on the stomach, especially for your hips, but mostly just preference. whatever you find comfortable is fine
I could not possibly be a patient of y’all’s because I wouldn’t be able to stop laughing long enough to do the exercises! I’m going through a bad major depression right now and just watching a couple of y’all’s videos have really cheered me up. Thank you both for doing what you do!
Not the only one..
Me too and they also cheer me up
Been there! Stay strong!
❤
Research coffee enemas. They are amazing and really chases away my depression, good for the liver, and chronic pain too.
I didn't realize sleeping was so dangerous.
Lol right
If you think about that every thing is dangerous cuz you can die sleeping , eating , working , walking if you fall , swiming soo..... Yeah
U've been lucky. It'l get ya
@@chrisfontanez2450 nigga shut up
@@chrisfontanez2450 Superman's weakness is Kryptonite, a regular person's weakness is pretty much EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE! 😂
It's all very well to say that there are certain positions you must avoid when sleeping, but when you are asleep, your body automatically gets into the most comfortable position, so how do you deal with that?
Use pillows and blankets to try and immobilize your sleeping body :)
@@ajnazatam you naturally move to promote circulation.
Because I'm supposed to get knee surgery I sleep with a pillow between my knees and or times I have to put a pillow under the knee that hurts the most.
God bless you two!!! I love the towel in the pillow for the side lying. And the roll stop!!! Thank you.
why is sleeping on your back so hard though?
Jamee Gallegos i feel the same
Because if you don't do it, it's going to feel unnatural. Just try when you're really sleepy and don't turn over, only took me a few days to get it
Because no one wants to practice for their coffin lol! all jokes aside sleeping on your back does take some time, like a week, to get used to. I think a comfy bed and pillow helps out tremendously.
@XamoT 5.7 pffffHAAHAA!!! 😆😂
Fr it feels like sleeping in a coffin
The fact that I'm watching sleep position videos at 3 AM instead of sleeping. I hate myself lmfao
Lmao 11 am for me
Bruh EXACTLY the same for me . I needa sleep lol
It’s 1 in the morning for me but I took a long ass nap earlier
Bro 3:20 am fir me lolol
@@ayaanansari2615 3:22 am for me lol
Thank you both! I appreciate you offering these great suggestions. I love your videos and thank you so much for putting them out for us to learn from.
Thanks so much for taking time to help us have better, more comfortable sleep habits.
0:27 how the dude on the left is holding those bones is making me uncomfortable 👀
Pink Floyd3 I guess he was secretly trying to tell his buddy that he has a “boner,” for him, hehehe!!!
Hehe was looking for this comment. Just knew I wasn't the only one who thought this
😂🤣😂🤣 good one!
🍆
He knew what he was doing lol. Literally a boner
Ah Jesus, after watching these it seems the only solution left is to sleep standing up.
Just don't sleep I guess.
Sleep like a Minbari. (on an angled bed)
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
No need to use the Lord’s name in vain
Funny!
I haven’t even watched this video yet. I just came here to thank you guys for all the good advice you have shared. You’ve helped me quite a bit over the years.
Oct 16 2022, just found this video. Im a side sleeper with shoulder issues! I will put what I learned to use and it looks like some relief is in the future!!! THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!
February 7th 2024 I just found this vid.
Can't sleep on the stomach, can't sleep on the side.... It would have been a shorter video if they just showed the one position it's ok to sleep in.
On your feet I guess
That's easy. On your back with your knees slightly elevated.
@@purrsistentwatcher Thanks
fuck that shit I would never sleep on my back! I've trained my body so that I don't accidentaly turn on to my back in my sleep, only sleeping on the sides. I don't take risks with sleep paralysis!
Ashley Pajak literally so uncomfortable for me to sleep on my back
Well, there goes my two favourite positions to sleep out the window. I guess I could try hanging upside down like a bat, and see how that goes. Lol!
S M we don’t talk about bats anymore.
How do you do that??
Just ignore this kind of stuff. The body is perfectly capable of coping with itself. Stay flexible and healthy, both in mind and body, and ignore this perfectionism click bait that just serves to make people feel less comfortable in their bodies.
@@phild8192 I hope you are sarcastic
Hahaha
Oh my gosh! I have never had shoulder pain until 60. Now my right shoulder is so painful (I tend to sleep on my rt shoulder). Tripped across this video. Would stop video, get on my bed and try positions they were showing. I found the right combo - one they mentioned - that gives me no pain. What a God send this is video is!
These guys are the Click and Clack (Car Talk) of Physical Therapy. They have helped me so much.
I used to sleep on my stomach comfortably when younger. Now that I'm in my 50s, and if I fall asleep on my stomach, I wake up with a pretty bad headache. It does go away eventually, but you guys have confirmed it's this position that's the cause. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I sleep on my side but I do it the way u should. And I love your channel
Who else doesn't like to sleep on their back because of sleep paralysis?
Me
I just find sleeping on my back highly uncomfortable.
Sleep paralysis is demonic possession. I could literally feel an entity entering my body as it was happening and slowly taking over. Very scarey
Me
The Casino yup it’s utterly and inexplicably terrifying.
..these are literally the only sleeping positions I can have a decent night of sleep in. If i sleep on my back i see shrek as my sleep paralysis demon
relatable
Hahahaha all the way from Africa berry funny but true.
Yeah, I have nightmares of I sleep on my back, too! 😬
💯, just didn't feel like writing it
Hi Lola. The sleep demon, like all demons are called 'shaytan jinn' in Islam or just 'jinn' in context. To remove or block them, use these steps. Muslims practise these traditions dating back to the Prophet Muhammad and they do not have sleep paralysis/demons, unless they forget to do the below. 1. Make sure there's no food crumbs in your bed. 2. Have a shower if you've had intercourse. 3. Its important to take only 2 sleeping positions. Your right side or back. Never on your left or tummy. (Too long to explain). 4. Before hopping into bed, say "I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed". It doesn't matter if you're not religious, you only have to acknowledge The Creator of man and universe with His Arabic name. (Fyi Allah = Al-ilah = The God). All you need to grasp is God is One, He has no partners or offspring. Keep repeating it sincerely and with awareness until you fall asleep. 5. If you're able to additionally learn the phrase in Arabic its a bonus. "A`oodhu billahi min ash-shaytaanir rajeem". Pronunciation is on KZhead. But not absolutely necessary. You may also use this statement in everyday activities to keep jinn from interfering with you. Take care, all the best.
I'm 64 and have slept on my side since I was a kid. No shoulder problems or back problems. The only back problems I have had were pulled from lifting incorrectly. I do change my pillow often and do not allow it to get flatten out. Good videos
I am an 81 yr old long term happy side sleeper. My lower spine issues, at 46, prevented any other option. I used body pillows to hug and separate my knees but often one would fall off the bed. I recently bought a u-shaped "pregnancy" pillow and it is a dream!!! I got one long enough to support my feet and removed some pillow area fill so my head wasn't too high. In my queen size bed, it still gives me room to sit on the edge of the mattress before rolling over it. Your video was great.
Who else watched this as laying on their stomach loooool
😂😂😂
🙋🏾♂️😂
😝
Meeee lol
I love sleeping on my stomach. Didn't know I was causing damage. Thanks.
I can't fall asleep on my back. My eyes would be closed, but my mind would be racing.
Absolutely, what's your remedy
Excatly bruh
@@abhishekshukla9373 I sleep on my stomach and rest my head on the side on a thin pillow, as i've been doing my entire life. I avoid large fluffy pillows as that would put pressure on my neck.
I can't sleep on my back, either. I have a nasty accident a few decades back and had to have major surgery on my abdomen. Recovery meant lying on my back for two weeks... I couldn't sleep a wink. If you need someone to stay awake to keep watch, I'm your man. If I just lie on my back, I will be wide awake all night, no matter how tired I am. My favourite sleeping positions are the ones this video tell you not to use. I think they are right, I'm having problems with my neck, but what to do? 🤔
W̶̷̲̅L̶̷̲̅O̶̷̲̅ғ̶̷̲̅ᴀ̶̷̲̅ɪ̶̷̲̅ʟ̶̷̲̅s̶̷̲̅ I do the same.
thank you for the education, i have struggling with back pain and shoulder pains for the past 6 years. I think i will adopt your recommended style.
VERY interesting indeed! I have a mattress suitable for my size, weight and sidesleeping. To aid me in sleeping on the side, I bought a pillow that has a slight pyramid shape, which means that when the topped side of the pillow is down, it tracks into the area between head and shoulder. I have never had such a wonderfully comfy pillow, bought it at IKEA of all places.
Stomach and side sleeper here. 🤷🏻♀️
Watching this made me feel so much better about my self. I have arthritis and I use a wedge a medium density pillow and two body pillows. I have figured out the best way to arrange them so I sleep better and don’t wake up hurting. The way you showed the pillow in all the different ways is about how I look surrounded by all of mine. No one told me it was just trial and error. I am glad you are here now for others.
I do much the same. When I stay with family or friends I just tell them they can't possibly provide my pillow requirements!
I’m a side sleeper and I remember your instructions on slanting the top shoulder back at an angle. It helps cause I can’t sleep any other way.
Gentlemen, thank you for this video. I have developed a rotator cuff-like pain in my shoulders,and I had no idea my sleeping position was thr cause. The pillow placement demo will help me. Thanks again.
Me when I wake up: numb hand, hair a mess, dislocated shoulder, bed texture printed on my face, lower back pain...
Lol, me too!
😅😅🤣🤣🤣😂
Thank god, I’m not alone
I call it blanket face! 😌
🤣🤣🤣
I might start out in a 'good' sleep position but I'm a very messy sleeper. Wakes up, pillows everywhere!!
GinaMaria Opalescent same. When I'm in a hotel all the nice blankets and extra pillows are all over the place
I was literally planning to tie my legs together so that I will not sleep like a frog.😂😂😂
A good sleeping position for me is laying on my back. That way I know I normally don't wake up or move at all. If I wake up or change position, I know something is wrong about my diet or psyche and I'm not sleeping well for that reason. It's become a good way of knowing about my overall health
I wake up and the pillows aren't even in the cases anymore.
My grandma would say you are a "wiggle worm" haha
Thank you so much uncle bob and brad, I just love the genuinety in your convo 😂😂😂❤❤
I tried all these suggestions rigorously for 1 night and spent most the night wandering around the house looking for all the different pillows and props, I only got 2 hrs sleep, but got a good workout!😅😅😊
Finally someone is showing us how to use these pillows. The cervical spine pillow now makes sense. Good advice turn the shoulder out or up or something.
How the hell did our ancestors sleep in their cold draughty caves on bits of animal skin and straw on a stone floor with one eye open for predators/enemies ? We need special beds, memory foam this and that, special belts, medication etc... and we still can’t sleep !
Well I mean they died pretty young compared to people today so maybe they didn't have time to feel the effects of bad sleeping posture lol
And you are still baffled at how they don’t Live past 20.
They were dead by 30 lol
If you hunted all day for your food and clubbed your mate to drag him/her home, you would be dead tired at the end of the day. So, you would fall asleep pretty fast!
Well you know a lot of people still have to sleep on the floor, but after working the whole day they just fall asleep
I'm a side sleeper who rotates about every 2 hours after a restroom break. The shoulder point hurting has been experienced on and off all my adult life. I do sometimes use a between the knees or a long back pillow or scrunch up the blanket. This allows me to roll back to a better spot off the point of the shoulder. My resolve to not buying the special curved pillow is to scrunch up the longer end under my neck, therefore creating less gap in my neck. I use 2 Serta Extra Firm pillows, always or in the past regular store pillows.
I have been sleeping on my stomach all my life and never had headaches. The only issue I had frequently was numb arms when waking up, but after I got in shape lost a bunch of weight and got muscle that never happened again.
Finally this stomach sleeper has an answer for my neck pain and headaches! I slept on my side last night and woke up without a stiff and sore neck for the first time in months. Thanks, boys!!!!
These two are hilarious without even trying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know. I think it would be so cool if they were on Saturday Night Live!
Thank you for your help with shoulder pain from side sleeping Woke up with no shoulder pain
Omg. This is a tremedous help. I've finally found the solution to my shoulder pain problem. I can't sleep without side lying but I wake up with really painful shoulders. Now, I've found a solution. Thank you so much
Me too, something I get shoulder pain. Now I understand why.
That shoulder thing.. my doctors and myself could never explain to ourselves why I sometimes have a regular recurring week of agonising shoulder pain.. but that I don’t sleep right could be it!! Thank you!
I sleep fine as a stomacher.
David Helseth I was sleeping on my shoulder for the past 30 years-it wasn't an issue until recently. Now I'm trying to change my sleeping position-it is extremely hard!
David Helseth me too. I sleep with no pillow also, and get no headaches nor any neck or joint pain.
Me too. although I'm not "that" old yet. But there's nothing finer than some nice stomach pressure against the bed. Its like getting a hug all night long.
Yeah I do both things they talk about not doing lol
David Helseth same lol. I go to sleep on my stomach but I wake up on my back. It’s the only way I’ll fall asleep lol

Same here. I can't sleep any other way that on the side but my shoulder joint has taken some dmg from it.

This is so helpful! I am a side-sleeper (in part due to asthma and allergies),.but it's not always comfortable! I appreciate the tips to make it easier, more comfortable, and healthier!
Side sleeping also helps with sleep apnea a breathing condition that affects people during sleep (hence the name sleep apnea)

As a side sleeper I always had a "sore" lower shoulder but leaning back slightly as you said helped a lot. I tuck another foam pillow behind me to help support the angle and it's the most comfortable sleeping position I've ever found. I also added a latex topper to my bed so that it gives a little more under that shoulder. It's very cozy in the winter but can get a little hot to sleep with all of those pillows in the summer :) Finally found a latex pillow that is deep enough to support my head properly. Thanks for the great ideas!
I love watching you guys. I sleep on my side, and have shoulder pain right in the joint which was diagnosed as arthritis, so I really wasn't sure exactly how to place my shoulder to not cause worse pain. You guys answered my question! Thank you so much.
Hello dear how are you doing over there?
Hello Lee Ann, it's a great pleasure meeting you here, may God bless you and your family... How are you doing over there? And how are your business and family?
Another excellent presentation gentlemen. Thank you and may God bless.
Great tips for side sleepers! Thanks Bob & Brad :)
I sleep on my left side but I extend my arm forward so it flattens out my shoulder. I adjust the pillow so my neck and head is in a straight line. I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea and this is extremely helpful in breathing.
I got rid of my neck pain and stiffness just by using bolster pillows. I had two that I situate end to end so that when I roll over there’s another pillow ready and in position. Amazing what a difference this makes.
well its great to realize that i have been sleeping in these positions for 20 years
After watching you guys torpedo every position of sleep,.....I've decided that sleeping is not only painful,...but DANGEROUS,.....I have therefore decided to STOP SLEEPING ALTOGETHER,......I've been awake for two years now,....AND I FEEL GREAT,....I have lots of extra time,....I eat six meals a day,....and I no longer have any pain of any sort,!!!!! Thanks for all your zany and wonderful suggestions,.....oh, and by the way,....I never dream anymore, and NEVER HAVE ANYMORE NIGHTMARES,..!!!!! Thank you...!!!!
😂🤣Thank you for making us laugh.
Two pillows, or better, three for a side sleeper: two stacked under the head to avoid shoulder problems; one between knees to keep hips and back ok. Amazing what a difference that knee pillow makes.
1 or 2 pillows between the legs relieves when you have sciatica, it allows you to find sleep, sometimes!
I don't know why they didn't mention the pillow between the knees, that helps me most when I am side sleeping
I use three My Pillow travel pillows for my ankles, knees and a cuddle one to rest my arm on. I use the regular My pillow for my head as it supports my head with no pressure points - I used to wake up with a sore ear and it cured my TMJ. I also warm a wheat bag every night for my feet. The good thing also is that they squish into my suitcase for travel and they fluff right up again. They also are perfect for the beach and travel - I take them everywhere.
@@Joycer2002 how did you cure your TMJ
@@ryoungerman7493 first of all I caused my TMJ by severe stress and yelling - I was out shoveling snow and yelled at the top of my lungs ( someone had totally stressed me out) the stress, cold and extreme muscle contraction caused me to get lock jaw - I could not open or close my mouth - what an experience. I went to bed and tried to relax but this lockjaw lasted two days - I could not even brush my teeth. This condition lasted off and on for months. About that time I saw an add for My Pillow and thought it was worth a try. It gave me full support and no pressure points on my jaw. My previous pillow was microfiber and fairly firm... so sinking my jaw into a soft but supportive pillow as I am a side sleeper gave me such comfort. It took two years of off and on problems and no help from the doctors for me to try and resolve the pain on my own. I also used warm wheat bags to relieve the stressed out muscles of my jaw. At this point I could still not even go to the dentist and open my mouth without it locking up and being in pain. The pillow helped me relax and allowed me to align my jaw. To this day this is the only pillow that does not put my jaw back into pain and lockjaw mode. I am also careful now not to also do anything to irritate my jaw - I avoid eating hard to chew or excessive chewing as in peanuts, gum or steak. I try to not grit my teeth or yell... they all cause pain and disable my jaw. A warm wheat bag helps relax things but I am also be careful to avoid stress. I used to always wake up with a very sore red ear... since My Pillow and no pressure points my ear problem has also been solved.
Honestly, it doesn't matter how you go to bed, in the morning were all hanging half out of bed, back twisted like we've had an exorcism in a pool of dribble.

Just what I needed. I knew y'all would have an answer. I sleep on my back and both sides but have had a ton of shoulder pain lately. I will try to implement the tunnel and other pillow support.
I have a regular pillow and a U-shaped pillow that supports my neck on either side, and on my back. I love it!
When I used to sleep on my back I would get sleep paralysis. I started turning my head to the side and it helped, but my neck always hurts the next morning. Now I mostly sleep on my sides. Thanks for the tips!

You're lucky you get sleep paralysis as that's how on can pop out of your body it's insane you should read up on it.

@@paulanthony5274 I’m happy that I have not met you. Be well.
I started sleeping on my back a few years ago. It took some getting used to but I can sleep that way reasonably well now, though I still prefer my side and mostly my left side. Ribs are actually flatter on that side which is why I taught myself to sleep on my right side. Then I had shoulder problems so learnt to sleep on my back while I was working on strengthening the muscles supporting the joint. Took a couple of years but I had good results after about six months. Shoulders are pretty good now. I lift and had neglected my shoulders too much. Now I work them a lot.
My favorite is side sleeping with knees flexed, hugging a pillow.
God Bless you both! I sleep pain free now!
Hello dear how's it going with you over there?
I love sleeping on my right side but quite often have a sore left shoulder in the morning. This video was helpful and made me aware of how I position my left arm.
How the heck did the earlier humans survive without these memory foam pillows? Were they just in constant pain?

Thank you, Brad and Bob for such helpful tips. My sister and hubby recommended your channel for me as I suffer from sleep pain and sciatica. 🙏🏼💜
Hello 👋
Hello Amanda, it's a great pleasure meeting you here, may God bless you and your family... How are you doing over there? And how are your business and family?
your program is great , it answered a lot of questions for me , thankyou.
I can only sleep on stomach and sides. Never sleep deep on my back.
I slept on my back as a kid and got sleep paralysis and couldnt open my mouth when I woke up. Never slept on my back since.
@@elgordo6280 now that I think about it I've only ever gotten sleep paralysis while sleeping on my back. Over the years I also realised I only get sleep paralysis when I go to bed extremely fatigued/tired. Fucking sucks feeling helpless as you try so hard to move your body but cant move an inch and scream your loudest but the best u can do is make a very quiet sound.
@@abdelsinusi5545 yep
@@elgordo6280 this is why I cover my eyes with an eye mask when I sleep lmao
I can only fall asleep on my stomach. But once I wake up I find my self on my back
Many thanks to you both. In the UK it's very hard to get this kind of help, so it's very much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Sleeping on my back i find myself swallowing my tongue. I'm normally a side sleeper, but that seems to be affecting my shoulders curving forward & chest caved in, thoracic pain, and problems with my arms to numbness in my hands. I use pillows to help support neck/head & waist. Thank you guys for your videos. Relaxed conversation and very informative. 😊💓

You guys are so friendly...so great! Thankyou for generously sharing the wealth of info you do on all your videos.
I love 💕 the way you have fun at the same time you’re teaching the proper sleeping position.
I, too, have spondylolisthesis as well as spondylosis. My condolences to you! Since high school, I have used a pillow between my bent legs to relieve the pain of one knee against another; (bending the knees straightens the lumbar region and relieves my lower back pain). I also have a metal plate in my neck (landed upside down on metal springs of a trampoline at age 15). Most of the time, I use a fairly flat pillow which supports my neck well. I don't like memory foam as it creates a sticky rut that neither supports nor feels good. Thank you for your many videos offering intelligent suggestions!
Great tips, I’ve been setting my alarm to wake me up every 20 minutes during the night to make sure I don’t stay in an end range position.
