I have been sleeping all night on my back for the 12 years I have been
injured and have never had a pressure sore. I would like to lay on my side
more, but my shoulders hurt too bad. I lay on my side 1 1/2 hours before I
go to sleep and in the morning after my shower and BM, before I get into my
chair for the day. I sleep on my back from 11 p.m. to 8-8:30 a.m. I
also sleep on a memory foam pad on top of my electric bed mattress. I
think I've also been lucky that I haven't got a bed sore from having sensation
and good skin.

Hi Dave,
I was wondering since you get up early, you
go to bed early too? If so do you get turned at night?
The reason I ask is because my devoted wife
does my turn at night and she is starting to burn out
after 10 1/2 yrs. I thought about not getting
turned, but I don't want to risk getting bed sores. I
can't get help for night turns. How many
people here don't get turned at night and don't have
bed sores?
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Tim,
I could drop off to sleep in a matter of minutes pre-SCI, and am still
the same way post. I also wake up at 5:55 AM at the latest each
morning. I have a stop-watch with a beep alarm hanging by my bed set
to go off at 6 AM but am always awake when it goes off. I sleep
straight through the night unless there is something wrong with me, or
outside and inside. I feel I am blessed!
With Love,

Before my SCI I could fall right to sleep when I hit the
sack, but post SCI it takes me 1-2 hour to finally fall asleep. Has anyone
else experienced this?
