Ambien?

[redrhodie]

Have you tried anything like using a full body pillow? I can't imagine the position you're forced to be in right now. Would more propping help?

I love the full body pillow - it has actually helped immensely.

New plan is to wait until my first PT session. If they say it's ok to relax a little with the sleeping positions then I might be ok. Like most of you guys, I'm not all that fond of the idea of taking ambien. I don't know if the CR would work, but if I'm going to keep waking up I'd rather not be drugged.

I am considering the melatonin though.

The cats have taken to sleeping on my chest too, which makes me less likely to try to roll over in my sleep

Thanks for all of the advice so far!

Melatonin doesn't help me much when I'm having problems sleeping but probably can't hurt. It has anti-oxidant properties and may help fight cancer.
