Stomach Sleepers:
If your back does hurt when you try to sleep, try to ease the pain by placing a pillow beneath your belly. This will take the strain off your back and prevent back pain from developing.
Side Sleepers:
If you tend to sleep on your side, draw your legs up toward your chest and place a pillow between your legs. This simple, yet effective method ought to reduce the strain.
Back Sleepers:
If you sleep on your back, place a small pillow or a rolled up towel under your knees. This will help your lower back maintain its natural curve.
Word of caution: If after adjusting your sleep position your back pain still keeps you up at night and interferes with your quality of sleep or daytime function, talk to your doctor, so that they may examine you further and conduct some neurological testing and imaging to see what's behind your pain, in order to develop a treatment plan.
