El Cid   194 #1 Posted September 3, 2016 I get back ache if I try to sleep on my back, always been like that.  But yet isnt that how most babies sleep?  I sometimes sleep on my side, but sometimes me joints suffer, old age I guess.  Is there a right and wrong way to sleep, not observed many people sleeping any nurses in here that can tell us how most people sleep?

We sleep less as we get older but this is because we aren't as active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tzijlstra   11 #5 Posted September 4, 2016 Pretty well, thank you  Just to link in to pattricia's comment, I'm hardly old, but I have noticed I can do with less and less sleep these days. I usually go to bed around midnight/1AM, wake up around 4/5AM and then sleep another hour or two or get up. As a teen/student I used to need 8 hours or I'd be cranky all day.

(I've read the coffee thread).  Hah, fair observation, I don't tend to drink coffee in the evening and caffeine doesn't really keep me awake anyway. That is unlike many Dutch I know though, most have coffee after dinner (8/9 PM). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BHRemovals   10 #9 Posted September 4, 2016 Try this, always have your couple of hours in silence, do not go on your computer, or watch telly, read for an hour and a half, then half an hour of meditation, I say a rosary, but anything will do just think about good and positive things that have happened in your life, next cup of drinking chocolate then hit sack as long as you don't gorge on food, you will sleep like a log.

Obelix   11 #10 Posted September 4, 2016 I get back ache if I try to sleep on my back, always been like that.  I was the same till I got a water bed. Fantastic until you have to move house.  Now I'm on a memory foam thingy again and sleeping on my side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mr Bloke   1,445 #11 Posted September 4, 2016 I was the same till I got a water bed. Fantastic until you have to move house. Now I'm on a memory foam thingy again and sleeping on my side. I've never had a water bed but...  ... I'm guessing that you're supposed to let all the water out and not take it with you when you move house?

Obelix   11 #12 Posted September 4, 2016 Yes (although I know someone who didnt realise that you could do that...)  The problem is letting the water out - especially if you cannot easily drain it... and then humping all that water up in a bucket..  And then refilling at the far end.. and then heating it up again which takes ages...  And the floor may need reinforcing...  A double waterbed is about a tonne of water - it does have it's own problems.
