Just picking up on the sleep thing.
How old is your mattress? How old is your pillow? Last year (or was it two years ago now) I was looking for a new mattress because I realized my existing mattress had aged out.
I am an all over the place sleeper, so basically depending on the day and physical state I could sleep on my side or front or back. My mattress no longer let me sleep on my front without a ton of pain, which sometimes I just need if I have a very busy brain, something about sleeping on my front calms me.
Anyways. I spent a ton of time doing research and trying out mattresses. I wouldn't say I sleep like a baby right now, but it's definitely improved.
Pillow wise I am using a bamboo pillow from Costco a few years ago. It's probably time to get a new pillow but I haven't come across anything that's good.
I sleep with a heavy old school blanket from China. IIRC my blanket is an 8lb double. Wife uses a 10lb double. Might be worthwhile to look into a weighted blanket or just something old school.
