For years I aways had a knee pillow, not like the fancy ones on TV that keep your spine in alignment, but just an old flat folded over flat pillow, and I always had it in between my knees if on my side, or under them if I'm on my back. Anyway, a couple nights ago it fell on the floor early in the night and I said F it I'm too tired and lazy to get it, and the next morning, almost no backaches!! As a test, no old man knee pillow the following night, and less backaches!!
Have the info-mercials been a lie this whole time? Is this old pillow the cause of my backaches? I just thought that it was odd.
But my real problem, I can go to bed at 730 or midnight, and be up at 3-4 AM rip roaring ready to go....I have tried melatonin, nyquil, advil PM, tylenol PM, and nada....I can fall asleep A-OK, but can't stay that way. I quit chewing tobacco over 3 months ago now, and the first 3 weeks I had bad insomnia, then slept good for a couple short weeks, and after I've been getting up early.
Any ideas or recommendations? I'm using it to my advantage and hitting the weights at 430 in the AM before work, but I don't want a lack of sleep to be interfering with any gains. And I get tired fairly early in the day, but can't really squeeze in a nap.
Thanks!!
