Hi mylotters!! I feel my posture is getting affected also due to my sleeping position! How much I try to, I cannot sleep flat on my back!! I can only fall asleep by sleeping on my side!! Ugh!! I also need one side pillow at very least so that I can hold it while sleeping and I need eye mask as I want the darkness to be forced on my mind! I use a lamp during nights! I do not know what to do to get out of this conditioning!! What's your sleeping positions and are you particular about the atmosphere of your bedroom?? Do you also keep extra pillows? I also need my hand stretched below my head pillow which is comfortable for me to fall asleep!!

I can easily sleep in prone position (on my tummy) that's a favorite one. But I can sleep on the side and in my back as well

Can doctor help it? I have conditioned myself to sleep on my side since my childhood due to fear of ghosts!! Can doctor help with this conditioning?

Because of a car accident, I can no longer sleep on my back. I sleep on my side now. There are pillows designed for side sleepers that also keep your neck correctly aligned while you sleep, but I do not have one.

I do not have one too! Those pillows were costly! But are you okay now? Healthy?

i sleep mostly on my hip and back, however my body says to me and without lamps; have to disappoint you. i like when it's dark so i can get sleepy faster it is good to have pillow by your side, why not.
