Does Pain Keep You Up? According to recent studies, insomnia numbers are rising.Since most sleep problems are stress related, more efficient stress management produces better results than taking more drugs. To help you sleep better, sleep on your back (unless you have sleep apnea). Sleeping on your back with a pillow under your knees decompresses your spine all night long. Also, try to exercise if you can. Appropriate exercise improves circulation, digestion, and reduces stress hormones. Less stress equals more restful sleep. 25050 Peachland Avenue #105 Newhall CA 91321 (661) 753-9340 This information does not substitute medical advice.
