Lying on my back is the only postion that doesnt hurt but I just cant fall asleep, idk why my body just cant do it, ill lie there for 4-5 hours despite being really tried and sleepy. If I fall asleep on my side either will wake up in 30 mineuts if I can even fall asleep cuz my arms go numb or have a dull ache. I spent 800 bucks on various pillows this year. Im losing my fucking mind!! My eyes always hurt with this deep burning. I cant fucking take it anymore!!!

Enjoy your sleep apnea
>>
>>76598463
U really think sleeping on ur back causes sleep apnea? U need meds dude
>>
>>76598457
When I was 15 I somehow forced myself to learn to back sleep because they said it was healthier. Now that it's deemed unhealthy, I can't side sleep at all it just feels mega uncomfortable.
>>
>>76598478
Your mouth opens and you don't breathe through your nose
Look up that guy that slept on the ground in Africa in the natural way, and one ear was open to be on alert for predators
You're meant to sleep on your side
>>
>>76598478

It's not that it causes sleep apnea. But when someone has a sleep apnea, they often can breath freely when sleeping on their side. While sleeping on their back will collapse their breathing ways.
>>
I snore on my back on my stomach and on my side. Im not a mouth breather and im not fat
>>
I had this at one point. The thing was that I had rounded shoulders a kid. When I fixed disbalance in my shoulders and trained them to a decent size, I started to sleep with a proper posture. Thus blocking the flow in my arms. Now I try to sleep with collapsed in shoulders and it feels great. No numbness in my hands. In the pose the toddlers usually sleep.
Try it.
For sleeping on your back, put pillows below your elbows to lift your arms and put a pillow on your stomack and put your your arms on it. Feels good this way. Besides, a pillow on your stomach is a good hack to fall asleep. For whatever reason when your increase your stomach temp, it's much easier to fall asleep. Also tilt your head on a side. Don't face ceiling
>>
>>76598540
If you snore, you are very likely to have a sleep apnea.
A healthy amount of snoring is zero
>>
>>76598487
Both ur ears are free if u sleep on ur back retard
>>
>>76598538
The main downside of sleep apnea is not getting enough sleep, whcih I am already doing so there's no risk. How cna I have sleep apnea if im not fat? Even if I did at this pojt it would be worth it to wear that mask. I need sleep. How amni suppose to fall asleep if my arms hurt? I made way too much gains. They hurt before the gain s even

>>
>>76598624

>>
>>76598604
Sleep apnea can be from too much muscle mass, especially if you roid.
Yea, mys houlder dlstarted to hurt from a side sleeping, when they fot too big. Same with hands going numb. The only thing that works for me is sleeping with forcefully rounded shoulders.
>>
>>76598457

I always have sleep paralysis when I sleep on my back for some reason
>>
>>76598637
Sounds like you really knew what you were doing when you started down that road
>>
Routine takes over.

First night, you won't sleep, by the 7th night you sleep from pure exhaustion and after 6 months anything else will feel weird.

I sleep on my back because I've had a lot of plastic surgery, so my nose and tit implants hurt if I'm on my side for 8 hours a night. You'll get used to it OP, you just have to suffer for the first 6 months
>>
exhaust yourself more
make sleeping on the side uncomfortable (sew tennis balls in an old shirt)
I thought about buying foam and cutting a head hole into it so I can't turn to the side
>>
>>76598637
What do u mena by forcefully rounded shoulders? Can u find a pic please?
>>
>>76598695
I really dont have that much time. I cant be a bimbo, I have to work. Can u post body? I wanna see how good ur tits look. U shouldn't have done that btw..
>>
>>76598726
Try to move your shoulders forward and reach out with your hands as if you try to hug someone in front of you. Actually hugging a pillow is the best. The best position for me when the hands go to the front and down towards my legs. I would say at 30 degrees. So basically right pic with slightly elevated from her body hands.
If I sleep like the left one, I will wake up with completely numb hands and my shoulders will hurt.
Just don't forget to keep a good posture when you are awake. Otherwise your will fuck up your shoulder while lifting.

Its the only way you're ever going to sleep on your back properly. The first 5 months is hell, you're brain and body will scream at you to curl up, but you just have to do it.

Why shouldn't I have got surgery? When you lose weight, tits sag, it sucks
>>
>>76598777
I think last time I tried that the pain went away but i woke up with a buzzing sensation cuz my circulation was cut off
>>
>>76598861
I thought u got implants, in thatcase i guess its okay.. I was trying to tell u that small tits are okay.. I prefer them actually
>>
I happen to be an expert on sleeping due to my own issues.
By far, the best sleeping position is on the side, slightly curled, with the free arm across your chest and the arm underneath keeping your head level
>>
>>76598873
Ohh, yeah but my implants weren't for big fake ones, but to stop sagging. No one can tell they're fake because I wanted them looking as natural as possible
>>
>>76598604
The main downsides of sleep apnea are increased intrathroacic pressure which can cause both systemic and pulmonary hypertension, heart failure and arrhythmia, hypoxia and hypercapnia which can fuck your brain among other organs.
>>
>>76598936
Oh u did get implants? I just thought u got skin tucked. U should have accepted ur saggy tits and gotten with a manlet or bald dude were u belong. The population collpase is beaxuse of people like u
>>
>>76598869
Buzzing sensation is not really a cut circulation, but compressed nerves. Which is still very bad. You should definitely buy some good b vitamin complex, without any synthetic shit.
I should also mention that I put one of those ergobomic pillow for head under my ribs to lift my body up. It's quite hard and lifts my upper body 3-4 cm. Ofc your pillow under your head should be taller than that. This might remove the pressure.
I have nothing else to advice. I wish you the best of luck.

I'm familiar with that paper, and I myself am a "floor sleeper", I sleep on a thin stiff mat similar to a tatami, I do use a thin pillow because I primarily sleep on my stomach-side. But when I first lie down and stretch I like to do it on my back, I can literally hear my back cracking after a whole day at work. I loathe modern mattresses, I've always had lower back and upper back issues because of them, and I couldn't understand why I felt more comfy just lying on a carpet, then 15 years ago I just bit bullet and switched to floor sleeping. My now ex-wife wasn't enthusiastic about that switch, lmao.
But these days I wanna get a low profile bed frame like this for better air circulation underneath, and the floors can't be uncomfortably cold in winter.
>>
>>76598499
Same, nose broken three times and one unsuccessful septoplasty and I can't breathe properly unless I sleep on one specific side. Wish I could be a back sleeper but since I struggle to mouth breath I just tend to wake myself up or unconsciously shift back to my side.

Always been a sidesleeper. My brain never turns off when on the back.

what was cool in that article or paper is, the monks sleeping on their shins and also all the penis protective stances

Recently bought a $6500 Tempurpedic mattress and adjustable base but went with a Purple pillow. It's like a big rectangle of their grid rubbery material and it's fucking great. I had a curved Tempurpedic pillow like the one above for almost twenty years but this one is much better for me.

The adjustable base I got can make a huge difference but I don't need it most time. It's great when you do though. Also has an additional lumbar support that you can adjust to keep your hip angle perfect. Absolutely worth the money for both
>>
>>76598457
I know how you feel, its borderline physically impossible to do it, it feels like I have an itch but I dont, I get annoyed after a while, turn to the side and fall asleep in 30 seconds, like other anons said it has to do with breathing
I dont have any problems with side sleeping, afaik its the most natural position for humans (look how sleep apes for the closest natural example)

In the paper absolutely no one sleeps on the hard floor.
Every animals prefers to sleep on something slightly soft. Ground itself is softer than a hard mattress.
You really need to be a speacial kind of a retard to think that sleeping on a hard floor os somehow comparable to sleeping on ground.
The guy in the article sleeps on a mattress. The gorilla sleeps on a bed of soft soliage and grass.

Not that kinda feeling. It's hard to explain. And they're also heavy af, springs get weaker over time, I'm not a lardass, but I had this issue many times, and then you have to throw that shit out, but it's huge and heavy. I like the feeling of EVA mats (picrel) the most, the best combination of stiffness and softness. One day I'll build a proper low profile bed with a 2" eva foam block instead of a mattress and that frame I posted above.
>>76600288
Nah, I need a small pillow. Using my own arm as a pillow sucks because it leads to ingrown hair and breakouts in the contact area. We didn't divorce because of the floor sleeping, she's an outdoorsy type and likes sleeping on the ground, lol, we divorced like a decade later for other reasons. And as another anon said, sleeping on the ground or even on a mat like I do isn't the same as sleeping on the cold tile, concrete, or even wooden floor. It's entirely unnecessary unless you really like it. I sleep on a mat because I like it.

You are another 4chan retard who has no idea what the fuck you're talking about but spew it as fact anyway.
Lying on your back typically does make it worse. Gravity is working against your lungs as opposed to when you lay on your side. Also on your back your tongue is more likely to fall back and obstruct your airway

There's a link between traumatic experiences and not being able to sleep on your back. People who have been through basic training, police academies, and the like report losing the ability to sleep on their back after the first day. There's no clear understanding as to why. OP was likely molested.
>>
>>76598487
>sleep on side
>lose circulation to arms

This only started happening when I got super swole. Circulation sucks when laying on your side so recovery suffers and you can wake up with dead limbs. How is that a plus in nature? I regularly wake up with one arm being asleep.
>>

>apparently it's true
wtf didn't know that
>>
>>76598457
Most of the time I fall asleep while lying on the side, but I always wake up lying on my back in the morning.
So I reckon that I just turn to lie on my back after falling asleep and then keep lying that way for the rest of the night
