It's Really Hard to Fall Asleep\u2026and Stay Asleep<\/span><\/h3>

Any kind of pain will make it harder for you to sleep. You'll struggle to fall asleep, and when you finally do, you are likely to wake up several times in the middle of the night because of the pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Insomnia is a serious problem that affects every facet of your life including your mental health, your physical health, your productivity, your emotions and so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Insomnia can <\/span>also worsen<\/span><\/a> the very back pain that caused the insomnia in the first place, creating a vicious cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The best way to overcome insomnia<\/a> caused by back pain is to address the cause of the pain. If you have an underlying health problem like arthritis, cancer or spinal problems, talk to your doctor about medication to relieve the pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If the pain is caused by an uncomfortable mattress, get a supportive mattress like the <\/span>Casper Wave<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

You can also try a few things to ease the pain. Using a heated massager like the <\/span>Zyllion Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager<\/span><\/a> before bed can make it easier to sleep through the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Stretching your back through stretching exercises or a device like the <\/span>Magic Back Support Back Stretching Device<\/span><\/a> can also reduce back pain when you go to bed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Sometimes, I'll wake up in the morning with serious back pain that ebbs away during the day. If you experience the same problem, it's a clue that your mattress is not quite right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An uncomfortable mattress is bad for anyone. But it's particularly bad for back pain sufferers. It intensifies and worsens your back pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For all you know, your mattress could be the cause of your pain. If you don't do something about it, it can lead to chronic back pain, where you experience persistent pain for months or years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There are two things you can do to make your mattress more supportive. One, switch to a different mattress with good support and pressure relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our favorite mattress for back pain is the <\/span>Casper Wave<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Two, place a mattress topper on your mattress to improve lumbar support<\/a>. We recommend the <\/span>Pure Green Natural Latex Medium Firm Mattress Topper<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It's not just your mattress that can cause or worsen back pain; your pillow can, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A pillow that's too high or too low affects the alignment of your spine. This puts pressure on your back, resulting in back pain or worsening your current back pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To protect your back when sleeping<\/a>, choose the right pillow for your sleeping position. We recommend the <\/span>Coop Home Goods Original Loft Pillow<\/span><\/a> for all sleepers with back pain because you can adjust it to fit your sleeping position and body size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Like most <\/span>American adults<\/span><\/a>, I sleep primarily on my side. I\u2019ve found it to cause the least amount of back pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you have back pain, you have to be extra careful how you sleep. Certain postures and positions can worsen the pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For instance, stomach sleeping <\/span>is terrible<\/span><\/a> for your back. It places the most pressure on your lower back, especially if you don't sleep on the right pillow and mattress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Sleeping on your side or back can also worsen back pain if you don't have adequate lumbar support and proper spinal alignment. That\u2019s why sleeping on a comfortable mattress and pillow is so important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Something else to check is your posture when you sleep. For example, side sleepers like me tend to lower the upper leg onto the mattress, twisting the hip and exerting pressure on their back. Use a knee pillow like the <\/span>Contour Legacy Leg & Knee Foam Support Pillow<\/span><\/a> to avoid this and improve alignment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Back sleepers can improve their sleeping posture by elevating their legs using the <\/span>DMI Wedge Pillow<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the biggest problems my wife experienced when she was pregnant was back pain. It is something many pregnant women have to deal with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you were already suffering from back pain before getting pregnant, pregnancy can worsen it, making it really hard to get a good night\u2019s sleep when you need it most.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In addition to getting a more supportive mattress and trying things like massage and stretching, we highly recommend getting a pregnancy body pillow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Look for one of those full body C or U shaped pillows like the <\/span>INSEN 62in Pregnancy Pillow<\/span><\/a>. They provide support to all parts of your body, and can relieve back, hip, neck and shoulder pain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Back pain can make previously simple tasks suddenly difficult. Something like getting in and out of bed becomes painful and slow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Quickly getting up from the bed can worsen back pain. Take your time when you wake up. Get out of bed slowly and <\/span>methodically<\/span><\/a> so that you don't place sudden pressure and weight on your sensitive back.<\/span><\/p>

Putting on a back brace like the <\/span>Mueller 255 Lumbar Support Back Brace<\/span><\/a> when you go to bed can help stabilize your back and reduce pain when getting in and out of bed. It can also make changing sleep positions easier and less painful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s also a good idea to check if your bed is too high or too low – both can strain your back. If it is, get a lower or higher bed frame that is easier to get in and out of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If the problem is that your bed is too high, you can also just use a stepstool.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Have you ever gotten muscle or joint pain when it\u2019s cold? <\/span>Apparently<\/span><\/a>, cold weather is not good for some types of pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Cold weather causes muscles and ligaments to tighten. It can also increase swelling and reduce blood flow. All these can exacerbate back pain.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you find that your back pain worsens when it\u2019s cold, the best and most energy-efficient solution is heating the bed instead of the entire room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Keep your AC low to save energy and instead get a heated mattress pad that keeps you warm through the night. Our top pick is the <\/span>Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pad<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
