Fibromyalgia Diaries: The Saga of the Stomach to Side Switch

At some point in the last year, I switched from a stomach sleeper to a side sleeper.  Like many stomach sleepers, I had a pillow that took years to properly mold to accommodate my stomach sleeping.  In recent months, I have not been sleeping well at all.  Switching medications was not helping.  I began to suspect that I was sleeping in a contorted position because my neck and shoulders hurt every morning. 

I went to Target.  After much side by side comparison squishing, I selected a new pillow.  For the past two nights, with the aid of my new pillow, I have slept like a champ.  Today, my lazy ass didn't get out of bed until 11.  It was just too comfortable.  Like sleeping on a cloud.  And, due to two nights of restful sleeping, I no longer look like i have been punched in the eyes.  The circles are looking much more healthy and normal.  I really hope I am not jinxing myself, but perhaps this will mean more sleep in the future…
