The curse of the body pillow...

[phyncke]

So - my chiropractor suggests that I sleep with one of those body pillow things. Her theory is that I keep injuring my back when I sleep at night and using the body pillow will keep me more stationary at night. I go on amazon and order one with a nice cover. All set.

Well no - these things are huge and not easy to adjust to at all. I find it really intrusive to my sleep. Gah! My cat loves the pillow as it presents her with another thing to lie on. The first night I tried to sleep with this thing, I think I made the mistake of wearing a long night gown and that got tangled in it but I just could not get comfortable with it and I did not get any sleep, or hardly any. Finally my subconscious self rejected the pillow and I threw the thing across the room. Unreal.

Do any of you sleep with one of these and have you gone through the process of adjusting to the body pillow? I might try naps with it and go from there. Any way...curse this body pillow thing. Right now, I.NO.LIKE.

Unfortunately if you are injuring your back at night by moving around and the pillow is keeping you from rest by preventing you from doing so...*sigh* you'll just have to wait and get used to a new way of sleeping. Which sucks, but it will be worth it when you stop injuring your back! So, keep trying and *hugs you lots and lots*

I will just have to get used to it, I think. *huggles*
