Members overwhelmingly related to the challenge of sleeping upright in a recliner due to pain, with several sharing they have slept this way for years because lying flat is impossible, and many expressing grief over the loss of intimacy with their partners. Several members described practical tools that help them manage nighttime pain, including adjustable and Tempur mattresses, sleep medications like trazodone and melatonin, CBD gummies, canes to help get up from recliners, and positioning strategies like switching sides or elevating legs. A recurring theme was the exhausting cycle of painsomnia, where pain disrupts sleep night after night, leaving members feeling perpetually unrested, yet they persist with humor, creativity, and mutual encouragement to find whatever small comforts they can.

Yes, I can't either. I slept in a recliner for years and I got a Sleep # adjustable bed. It made all the difference in the world. I still am unable to sleep some nights because of the pain but it is infinitely better than it was before.

I just read if you have back trouble you should only lay on your sides. Never on your back.

Yes pain does keep me awake at night and can wake me up. The only thing I am comfortable laying on is a Tempur Cloud mattress and pillow, even then it does not stop the pain but I am moe comfy will suffering. If I lay on anything else I am in agony and my neck and head is very painful if I try sleeping on any type of pillow, even a lovely goose down pillow causes problems, have tried everything over the year, memory foam matters toppers do help but the Tempur mattress in the most comfortable. Hope this will help you. Sending hugs. x

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member I’m interested in knowing about the Gummies for sleeping.
I have an electric bed which is great as the top of the bed can be raised up to about sitting level and it’s a lovely comfortable bed
