Have you been up most of the night because of your back pain? Are you desperate for a decent night of sleep? Back pain can cause you to have insomnia. Many patients I have were suffering from this problem. Many patients I personally have treated used to try everything and had bought many products, in the hope they could be comfortable enough to sleep. They were really praying to be able to sleep, but they could not because their sleep was interrupted because of their back. Some told me they felt like “Goldilocks” because they slept in all the beds in their house. Patients have also told me they had been sleeping on their couches or in their recliners for years, instead of sleeping in their beds. Sadly, they had not been able sleep with their spouses, for years, because of their back pain.

It is not uncommon for back pain to drive a patient to sleep in the recliner or on the dress up propped up with pillows, just to get some pain relief. It is common for some to sleep on the floor next to their bed, place boards under their mattress, or buy all different types of pillows: hard, soft, contour, and memory. Putting a body-pillow between the knees is a method many of my patients had tried. Sufferers that have tried everything are desperate and are praying they can just sleep.

Many people have tried heating pads, electric blankets, playing soothing composition, and leaving the television on – which can drive a spouse insane. They want to have some companionship while they are awake suffering. This is when back pain sufferers are tempted to order products from the late-night infomercials: diet programs, sleep aids, exercise equipment, inversion tables, vitamins and maybe even Ginsu knives. Anything that will promise a better life might be ordered. It is a viscous cycle that just does not seem to end because their pain is only the symptom of what could be a serious, underlying back problem.

There are temporary reasons for back pain. An example is a pregnant woman. Her back pain can be because of so much extra weight around her mid- section during the day. The same thing can take place from being overweight. Other reasons could be improper carrying to one side, anything from a heavy purse to a child riding on the hip, improper sitting, sitting while leaning and peering at a computer screen. The list goes on, because of our more sedentary lives. Read The Full Story…

Therefore, I could not sleep naturally well, and could turn out to be extremely tired and haggard. With a pair of sunglasses, I could still be charming and fascinating.

But now, I find that I can hardly communicate with ordinary people when I wear the glasses. They do not seem to be friendly to me. So I abandon my glasses. As soon as I quit them, fantastic changes have taken place. The sky seems to be much brighter than it was. As I used to be wearing the sunglasses, everything was dark blue as I could see. The sun shines directly into my eyes and stings my eyes. But I am delightful because I feel rather warm. In the tree outside my house, there are different kinds of birds singing.
