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

I also cannot sleep flat and toss from side to side all night long. I dont sleep in a recliner every night but i also found it does work and helps me fall asleep.

@Willow73 here if sleepless due to pain people call it painsomnia many of us suffer from it.
