I put a folded towel under my pillow. Straightens my neck enough that I sleep better. After a few weeks I have issues again. I realize the towel is gone and have to get a new one.

Some would argue that your sleep pattern is the way humans were meant to be.

When I quit doing a nightcap 1-2 standard drinks, I didn't sleep all the way through the night that well. I do also have generalized anxiety disorder, so I'm naturally more on edge. Doctor prescribed 25 mg of Trazodone and now I sleep like a little baby, 7 hours every night like clockwork.
I think I'm an outlier but I generally sleep like the dead. I fall asleep quickly, sleep through the night, and usually naturally wake up before my alarm (sometimes a bit too early). That being said, my lifestyle is pretty conducive to great sleep (no kids, try to be pretty active, strong routine) and I try to maintain habits that promote good sleep.
I'm in bed a long time but never sleep more than 2 hours at a time. I'm a side sleeper and once my hip or neck get sore I wake up, turn to the other side and fall asleep. Rinse and repeat. We are on our 4th bed in 3 years, trying to find the right fit. Nothing works. Guessing this is the start of old age.
Don't worry. I'm still in my 30s. There's still a chance it all comes crumbling down soon.
This is what I was going to ask. I had it so bad in the early 2000s that I had surgery for it. It worked wonders.
Yeah, I am thinking I might ask about this at my next physical.
Melatonin will knock me out, but then I usually wake up at like 2 or 3 and am just wide frickin awake.

I'm sure your goddam prostate is all pristine too.
******* youth. *shakes fist*
I used to toss and turn for 4-5 hours (literally) due to my mind not shutting off. I started taking a couple gummies and eventually settled on 40mg Melatonin. I could typically sleep pretty well with that.
Since the Parkinson's has started to ramp up, I wake up about 4-5 times to go the bathroom every night and can't sleep past about 4am no matter what I try - even taking more Melatonin. Unfortunately it's a prominent symptom - extreme exhaustion 24 hrs/day but inability to sleep.

Normally I sleep through the night no problem. If I've had a few drinks I usually wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep. My 3 year-old has started a bad habit of climbing in bed with us in the middle of the night recently and she wakes me up several times a night unless I carry her back to her room. I don't have any proof, but I'm fairly certain she dropped the People's Elbow on me last night about 3 am.

PSA check it and keep checking it. I have lost friends to prostate cancer and I don't have a prostate anymore. 7 years cancer free. Please everyone keep your PSA checked. Private message me if you have questions about prostate cancer and dealing with it. I will answer questions that I am able to answer.
Also CPAP almost two years ago changed my life. Wonderful sleep every night. Unless their is a huge personal problem that I am dealing with at a given point in time. I am not overweight, that is a misconception of needing a CPAP. Overweight can aggravate or cause sleep apnea but not always.

Do not ask Mangino that question. Do not ask that question.
So……..they either read, chopped wood, or had sex between sleeps. I know which one the men suggested.Some would argue that your sleep pattern is the way humans were meant to be.

Wife takes it I’m guessing. If she doesn’t place stuff, it doesn’t belong there is her opinion.
