I too agree that there is a whole lot to be said for a very comfy recliner. There are so many, actually, way too many nights, that I spend in the recliner. I generally will spend at least some part of my sleep in the recliner each night, generally the first part of anywhere from a half hour to many hours. I also get reflux, and when I am having trouble, the recliner helps me get my legs up, but I can be sitting up enough to not have the reflux problems and can get sleep too. It also helps if I don't eat within a couple of hours before trying to get to sleep, but as any of us know that need to take any kind of narcotic, you should take with a little food. There are those nights that I take a vicodin.......loving life with TM. I will not complain, I have several close to me that have cancer.

THOSE NAPS COUNT WITH ME.

I think the mattress i got is crap i can feel the metal springs with my hands, but my body doesn't notice....sometimes i go to sleep nearly sitting up and other times I am laying flat --- sometimes legs slightly raised (a fun way to exercise in bed) that (and six pillows) is wonderful aid to going to sleep soon after I adjust myself.
