Sleeping positions?
Hey guys!
I'm not sure this really fits in the natural living community, per se, but out of all my resources I figured you guys are my best bet.
My question is: do any of you have any experience training yourself to sleep in a particular position? If you do, I'd love to hear some tips.
I often experience soreness in my left shoulder while driving long distances (30+ minutes) and it recently dawned on me that when I wake up in the morning I'm almost always laying on my left shoulder. I'd like to try not sleeping on that shoulder to see if it helps, but I've always been very restless while falling asleep. I toss and turn and oftentimes I can't fall asleep at all if I'm not laying on my left side. Is there any way to train yourself to sleep in a different position than you're used to?
Thanks in advance :)
Disclaimer: I'm not asking for a diagnosis on my shoulder pain. I will see a doctor when I have the time and money, but I have neither now. In the meantime, I would like to try this experiment on my own to see if it helps because it can't possibly hurt.
