    One thing that they didn’t mention during the entire ‘side’ sleeping position spiel is that if your mattress is soft enough to let your hip and shoulder sink in, you don’t need all of those random pillows everywhere. Just a big one under your head and maybe one between your knees. A lot of ppl think firm and extra firm etc, but if you are a side sleeper and have wide shoulders and / or hips, a soft mattress really helps.

      Hi Lola. The sleep demon, like all demons are called 'shaytan jinn' in Islam or just 'jinn' in context.
      To remove or block them, use these steps. Muslims practise these traditions dating back to the Prophet Muhammad and they do not have sleep paralysis/demons, unless they forget to do the below.
      1. Make sure there's no food crumbs in your bed.
      2. Have a shower if you've had intercourse.
      3. Its important to take only 2 sleeping positions. Your right side or back. Never on your left or tummy. (Too long to explain).
      4. Before hopping into bed, say "I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed". It doesn't matter if you're not religious, you only have to acknowledge The Creator of man and universe with His Arabic name. (Fyi Allah = Al-ilah = The God). All you need to grasp is God is One, He has no partners or offspring. Keep repeating it sincerely and with awareness until you fall asleep.
      5. If you're able to additionally learn the phrase in Arabic its a bonus.
      "A`oodhu billahi min ash-shaytaanir rajeem". Pronunciation is on CZcams. But not absolutely necessary.
      You may also use this statement in everyday activities to keep jinn from interfering with you.
      Take care, all the best.

      I can't sleep on my back, either. I have a nasty accident a few decades back and had to have major surgery on my abdomen. Recovery meant lying on my back for two weeks... I couldn't sleep a wink. If you need someone to stay awake to keep watch, I'm your man. If I just lie on my back, I will be wide awake all night, no matter how tired I am. My favourite sleeping positions are the ones this video tell you not to use. I think they are right, I'm having problems with my neck, but what to do? 🤔

    VERY interesting indeed! I have a mattress suitable for my size, weight and sidesleeping. To aid me in sleeping on the side, I bought a pillow that has a slight pyramid shape, which means that when the topped side of the pillow is down, it tracks into the area between head and shoulder. I have never had such a wonderfully comfy pillow, bought it at IKEA of all places.

    1:00 The trick for that is to take the other person out of the statement to see if it still makes sense. As in "If you know Brad and me/I" you remove Brad from the statement. Then the statement becomes "If you know I" or "If you know me". So in this case the correct answer is obviously "If you know Brad and me".

    I am an 81 yr old long term happy side sleeper. My lower spine issues, at 46, prevented any other option. I used body pillows to hug and separate my knees but often one would fall off the bed. I recently bought a u-shaped "pregnancy" pillow and it is a dream!!! I got one long enough to support my feet and removed some pillow area fill so my head wasn't too high. In my queen size bed, it still gives me room to sit on the edge of the mattress before rolling over it. Your video was great.

    I started sleeping on my back a few years ago. It took some getting used to but I can sleep that way reasonably well now, though I still prefer my side and mostly my left side. Ribs are actually flatter on that side which is why I taught myself to sleep on my right side. Then I had shoulder problems so learnt to sleep on my back while I was working on strengthening the muscles supporting the joint. Took a couple of years but I had good results after about six months. Shoulders are pretty good now. I lift and had neglected my shoulders too much. Now I work them a lot.

    As a side sleeper I always had a "sore" lower shoulder but leaning back slightly as you said helped a lot. I tuck another foam pillow behind me to help support the angle and it's the most comfortable sleeping position I've ever found. I also added a latex topper to my bed so that it gives a little more under that shoulder. It's very cozy in the winter but can get a little hot to sleep with all of those pillows in the summer :) Finally found a latex pillow that is deep enough to support my head properly. Thanks for the great ideas!
