The Do's and Don'ts of Sleeping with Sciatica at Night

Lying on your back is pretty much one of the most excruciating positions you can sleep in if you suffer from sciatic pain. While sleeping flat on your back, it simply pinches the sciatic nerve which causes a lot of discomfort to the sufferer and thus making it very difficult to fall asleep. In this video, I am going to share with you some of the tips and do's and don'ts that will help you get a better sleep at nights even if you are experiencing chronic sciatic pain.

Thank You ☺️ this actually helped me💯💯

One of the worst pains you can have because its so persistent.

[beyoutyisinthei]

Thanks for the stomach suggestion. I was told from a chiropractor that sleepping on my stomach is the worst for me. Im quite relieved as that is the only way i can sleep.

[frederickjefferson]

I seem to find relief lyingon the sciatica side than the opposite. But
Then the pain is almost unbearable when I turn over

[LadyyenTibay-zb]

😭 thank you very it's helping so much for

[irmajimenez]

Thank you, I will definitely try this

[rchlletters]

Get a decent mattress. It makes a world of difference. Also consider building hip motility and glute strength. People move at night and the idea of adjusting pillows through the night isn’t practical and doesn’t solve the underlying issues.

Very painful experience and I wake up to massive shooting sciatica pain every morning thx for the help dude.

As Indonesian, we sleep with bolster pillow since we were born, I took one with me when I move to Australia because I know can’t live without it 😂

What causes nausea with sciatica? I had cellulitus a few months ago and currently on medical leave for surgery sometime soon. However, my sciatica started acting up and nausea? Do they go together? I did know if do or not

[TotalEclipseOfTheSon]

So accurate. I have to sleep with knees up, or the pillow between the knees and on a soft, memory foam mattress. Omg the pain from sleeping on a regular bed is abundantly excruciating.

When I sleep on the side I get soreness like pain in the bony structure on side, I don't know what it's called. Regardless of whether I sleep with pillow or not I get it. Is this sciatica or something else

[redridinghood]

..im a tummy sleeper ..th Dr told me that is not good for Sciatica suffers ..im so relieved to see this🥺

[crazyminds]

I have Numbness in my feet how can I get it comfortable..

[RiggedSports]

I fear I have cancer after googling my back pain symptoms 😂. But I hope not. Pain started in my neck and now neck pain is gone only lower back pain …. Going to try these out to help me sleep. 6am and I’m laying here in pain but this should
Help

[ianlest]

Thanks for the advice, handsome! 🙌🏼❤️

[driedblood]

If someone needs to sleep upright because of GERD (laying down causes feelings anxiety and feeling like they can't breathe), but this position aggrivates sciatic pain. Is there anything that can be done?

[masoomkhan]

I always keep pillow between my legs during side sleeping.I dont know why my knees and ankles can are not accepting each other and that start paining with out pillow.

[pundiparadox]

I found that sleeping on an air mattress helped me most. I'm wondering why that is?

[lupitasmith]

What if the pain is on both sides? I'll have to try the stomach way. Pillows under legs or between knees doesn't help. Pain is far less when I walk slowly, but it's still there. 😢 Sciatica must be a night owl.
