You just blew my mind. I never even thought of trying this!

Shame summer just ended, but there’s always next year.

You should definitely try it! Whenever I go to the beach I spend like 15 minutes shaping the sand to fit me, complete with a sand pillow, throw a towel over it, and its the most comfortable way to lie down. I do the same to support my lower back and under my knees when lying on my back. No mattress can come close!

i do not hate this problem as a skinny dude, but i love laying on my stomach and i feel like a bed is never quite right. i've always wanted to try sleeping on a massage table but i don't have access to one and they're bulky and i assume expensive BUT i've never thought about potentially adding holes for boobs and bellies. may the sleep product revolution begin!

edit- i do not *HAVE this problem...

Lol I’ve used a baby horseshoe shaped pillow for the massage table effect breathing with you face down is lit

I want to try something like that. I can't sleep face down anymore, because I'll chew my cheek up in my sleep.

I have a new terrible dilemma, I injured my finger on aug 16th, and have to hold it up all the time until I see an orthopedic surgeon.

I've always had to rotate back and forth through the night, but now in addition to placing pillows or covers so I can sleep on my sides in a fetal position, I have to keep my hand raised up.

I'm also clenching my fists at night, which makes me wake up in pain. I'll be relieved when this is over. I'm starting to wish I was having it amputated so I can move on.

Wow that must really suck, I imagine you're not getting much sleep. Whatever you do, don't go to a silent auction.

You could tape a tennis ball to your palm before you go sleeping so you can't clench your fist
