What is sleep?

Sleep can be difficult sometimes, this picture came from getreal4health.com

Sleep can be hard to come by some days because of being uncomfortable. I personally have a hard time sleeping because I can't sit/lay still for too long or else I get stiff. Even during the day I have to constantly be moving or I will have pain flairs.

When you sleep, laying still is normal but if that causes pain what is there to do? I have found that using a neck supporting pillow helps a lot. With my neck supported I wake up with less pain and I can function more in the morning.

Everyday I am constantly popping my fingers, neck, back, hips, ankles, you name it and I probably pop it! So sleeping with the neck pillow, for some odd reason, it helps me reduce pain.

As I have said before in a post, every person's APS and treatment is unique. Everyone affected has to find what works for them and just do it. No matter how crazy you might look sleeping with a neck pillow or massaging your skin in public, just do it.

Whatever works for you is what you need to do to control your pain so you can sleep.
