I've never been able to sleep sitting up, because I can't stand the pressure on the back of my head/neck. I always sleep on my side because of this, and that's a bit difficult to do while sitting almost upright, it's bad on my back! I sleep with 3 pillows most of the time now.

I'm usually sitting up and resting on my side, if you can imagine that. I find that once the ON is set off, it doesn't mattter if I'm on my side, the pain just keeps going.

Take care, Ellena
