Do you suffer from back pain?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>
Is the quality of your sleep being impacted – or causing more pain?<\/b><\/p>
You\u2019ve come to the right place. <\/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 mess up with your sleep quality. It has kept me up more than a few nights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> And a bad mattress, pillow, or sleeping position can make back pain worse.<\/span><\/p> The good news is that there are many solutions and products that can help reduce back pain at night – and prevent back pain from occurring while you sleep.<\/span><\/p> In this guide, I identify the most common sleep problems back pain sufferers experience, and reveal the best solutions I\u2019ve found through research.\u00a0 Some are products, others are just proven recommendations from people smarter than me.<\/span><\/p> After discussing common problems and solutions, I review the best products and sleep aids to reduce back pain and improve sleep quality.\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 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>What\u2019s In This Guide?\n<\/h2>\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
