Relaxation tapes,music,tv on tv off,melatonin,white noise,reading etc. In so many books you read about pain it says how important a good night sleep is. Not so easy to get though.

Daniella,
Are you a flopper? I am and I wake myself up by knocking my feet, knees, or legs against each other. I'vefound that I sleep better in a recliner where I can't flop around like a fish out of water or flip over and get on my stomach. It forces me to stay relatively on my back while I'm asleep. I have one that locks back in recline, some don't and those are more difficult to keep back.
