28M. I have a great mattress, and also a gel foam pad on top of that. I still wake up with knees hurting and my lower back feeling “loose.” Am I sleeping incorrectly? Any tips?

I sleep on my stomach 75% of the time. Other 25% is flat on my back or on my side.

Sleep on side with pillow between legs. And maybe a pillow to hold onto for you back. Do some spine strengthening like Superman pose etc.

My chiropractor tells me you should never sleep on your stomach. It's been a struggle for me to change my sleeping style, but has helped with back issues when I do.

I even had a hard time not sleeping on my stomach while I was pregnant! I’ve tried side sleeping but can’t fall asleep.

Usually sleeping on the stomach is not the best. You must relieve the pressure on the hips and lower back. So side sleepers can place a pillow between the knees, back sleepers can place it under the knees. I'm sure there is a similar thing that you can do while sleeping on the stomach. Also you said you have a great mattress, make sure it's more firm than soft because stomach sleepers need more support. Hope you get better sleep!

Highly recommend an adjustable bed. Has improved by back issues and don’t really sleep on my stomach anymore.

I was a stomach sleeper and then switched my pillow to a Groove Pillow. Changed my sleep!

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??
