Get rid of pain while sleeping

Which person is sleeping most comfortably?

Children don’t suffer pain sleeping. What is the son doing differently from his father and mother?

Both father and mother are holding themselves straight while the son has curled up into more of a foetal position. (See how his head is down — and I bet his knees are up close to his chest). Holding oneself straight to sleep only makes you stiff and makes you hurt.

… and don’t worry that sleeping curled up will make your back bent. Who do you imagine stands and sits straightest: the father, the mother or their young son?

So get reading.

If you don’t know where to start, email me. Tell me what’s happening for you at the moment and I’ll point you in the right direction.
