I couldn’t sleep on my back for years due to apnea. I finally got the treatment I need, and now that’s the only way I sleep. Being able to breath is easily taken for granted!

Keep in mind though, that for many people sleeping on one’s back will still have the effect of some over-extension. This is because of the slight anterior pelvic tilt a lot of folks end up with in this position. But that is easily remedied by putting a pillow under your things or knees which puts the spine in a much more neutral position.

Over the last year my body has been forcing me to start trying to sleep on my back. I used to be a stomach sleeper, yes, with my head wrenched to one side. Once I had a baby, however, I found myself sleeping on my side with one arm folded up under my pillow. This was so I could breast feed and sleep at the same time. After doing this for over a year it had then become a habit. About a year ago or so I started waking up to numb fingers and arm. What did I do? Flipped over. Result? Numb arm and fingers. I have blamed the bed. It is too hard I kept saying. So we bought the memory foam mattress topper. Still not enough. Bought a pillow top mattress pad to go over the memory foam. Really?? Still??? OK, the only solution, TO SLEEP ON MY BACK! It is still not an easy task but 8 out of 10 times I will sleep through the night versus tossing and turning and having to shake the blood back into my limbs in the middle of the night… Thank you for this post! Now at least I know why my body is rejecting my sleep position and have saved my husband from the expense of a new bed!! Two weeks ago I even bought myself the posture pedic memory foam neck pillow… ahhhh, sleep at last!!
