Thanks again, it’s interesting, and honestly I’ve tried all the suggestions, and unfortunately cannabis is still illegal where I live. 🙄. The levels that are allowed here are next to nothing and a waste of time and money.
I can only hope this will eventually change and those of us that could benefit would be able to use it for relief for nighttime pain that results in insomnia.
I don’t use digital after 7 at night… and do go to bed at 10 pm every evening and rise at 6 am to practice the recommended methods to encourage good sleeping habits. We also have a great mattress.
I’m at a loss to at this point.
I truly appreciate all the tips though! Thanks

Hi @grannydee, have you ever tried heat to relieve your pain? I have an infrared heating pad and it does give relief when I'm using it and for some time thereafter. I have osteoarthritis of the shoulder and some rotator cuff tears. The heating pad comes with instructions not to sleep on it though. If heat provides you with relief, maybe there's a heated mattress pad somewhere. I've also read that weighted blankets help with sleep. Maybe you could find some relief along those lines.
