My wife wanted me to ask....She's tried this several times over the years, but every time she wakes with hip and neck pain. She keeps at it and then eventually develops low back pain from it. She eventually gives up. Any thoughts on how to alleviate this?

Been sleeping using this system for 3 years now. It works.

My cheap bed has plywood supporting the mattress, so I just did the maths and reframed the support for the plywood using some 2x4s then reinstalled the plywood and mattress. This allowed the bookshelf on the headboard to remain usable. I ended up with a six degree slope and after three nights I am well impressed with the difference. 👍😎💯🇨🇦

I actually sleep better flat, I even got a thin pillow, it also improves the neck-spine posture fixes forward head posture.

[@Kinta02]

Tried Incline Bed Therapy for about 2 years. Sadly neither did my sleep improve nor any of the symptoms that were said to maybe be related to sleeping flat. Changed back recently an again nothing changed.

[@mv9113]

I tried it, it really helped with GERD and digestion, but the wedge was too inclined I think I first purchased a 7”. I found a 4” inclined bed wedge mattress topper on Etsy, it’s a more gradual incline sleeps much better. Thank you!!!

When I sleep on the couch elevated with pillows I sleep through the night, but in my bed I wake up at least once or twice a night. It's weird. It definitely decreases my heart burn and decreases my need to urinate at night.

[@hamidman6974]

Any reports?

[@drednac]

Thank you, I have GERD and I have read about this several times. I have also elevated my bed several times when I had the worst heartburn in the night. It's good to know that this actually is a better sleeping option overall. I somehow don't like sleeping in the flat bed, but it's mostly because I have wide shoulders and I am lean so my back is bend when I sleep on my side even when the mattress is not the hardest one. I also tend to breath thru mouth during the night which is terrible. Since I used the hack from your other video (duck-taping) I don't have that issue anymore, I think I sleep little bit better since then. No sore throat no dust on the lips, no headaches in the morning. So I will now look into permanent options how to lift my entire bed which will be a challenging because it's a big bed for two.

[@BoostYourBiology]

The combo of mouth taping + inclining bed is certainly a winner. Great to hear you are seeing benefits.

[@nikos4641]

Have you had a sleep test before? This sounds like severe sleep apnea.

[@drednac]

@@nikos4641 I had a sleep exam. couple of years ago and they didn't found anything unusual. However they only had 3 hours on the record because I couldn't sleep. So not sure if they just missed it. I suppose to have a nose bone surgery because it's deformed and I should have it as a kid but seems like nobody cared. I always had a problem with nose inflammation and obstructions making me hard to breath thru my nose. This actually improved since I am taping my mouth during the night.

[@nikos4641]

@drednac How old are you? Sleep examinations are rarely thorough - for example they don't screen for UARS via RERA events, and oftentimes the criteria for hypopnea varies so widely that one sleep study may show quite severe sleep apnea and another nothing at all. Of course you might not have it, but prevalence is >70% by age 40.

[@drednac]

@@nikos4641 I am 38 right now, but I had this problem for a very long time (at least 10 years) I don't even have morning wood pretty much as long (It's very rare). I have been diagnosed with gastritis recently however I have been prescribed PPIs with a year prescription .. so that seems like a GERD to me (Doctor couldn't find anything serious with endoscopy). So that nighttime heartburn can also somehow play into this. I am otherwise healthy active and lean.

[@LatimusChadimus]

I have three pillows that prop up my torso, I keep a king size pillow under my knees and a smaller pillow under my lumbar spine. That still fits in with the feet on the decline, as mentioned earlier in the video, while still allowing my hips to decompress and even decompressing my lumbar spine through supported natural extension

@@SwazersC lol dude, I tried it, and it gave me a few of the worst nights sleeps I've ever had, even when it was only a slight incline. Did I notice better glymphatic drainage, yes. But I was just freaking dead during the day, even though I slept.

[@newsdropz5361]

Been doing it for it for a year. Feel better with my chronic rhinitis (hay fever) - because the mucus is piling less up, during the night. So if you're clocked in your nose chronically, try it out! Just place some books under one end of the bed - to give you a 15-30 degree incline.

[@polskiogorki7019]

Thats wayyy toi much incline youll end up at the bottom of the bed. 5 to 7 degress is just fine

[@mrj-charles6383]

I used to sleep like this at my old place. Actually it was unintentional because my house was leaning so I faced the bed the way my head was higher. I actually slept very well like that. Now I travel a lot and spend most of the year in hotels. I guess traveling domestically I could carry some bricks with me.

Have you read something about Buteyko breathing and stuff like that? Anyways - they Reccomend sleeping seated if possible, it would be much more beneficial vs laying. Back in the days I tried it, but couldn't fall asleep.

sitting is not optimal - this will negate the circulation benefits.

how much of an incline does it have to be? i just put 2 fat bricks under each side

[@SwazersC]

Your better to use spacers. Make sure you support the middle of the bed also.

[@davidhayden1461]

Definitely works.. flat feels like sleeping upside down after you’ve tried incline! Edit: used to have crazy vivid dreams as a kid and they’ve returned since going incline. Ps. What colours do you see when you close your eyes?

[@hamidman6974]

It depends. You should see very black if you close your eyes. But if your vision system/eyesight is not good, you could see different colors - that's stress in the vision system. In fact there's an exercise called palming - where you close your eyes and cover them with your palm (without touching the eyeballs) - and imagine black, or make the black, more black - which would improve eyesight. I used to do it and it worked, but needs more consistency.
