Hi Pirate,

I was told many years ago that sleep is nature's healer - give into it. If you are overtired try counting backwards from 300.

Hi

Sleep is important. If you have a health disibility the brain has to do far more work. The brain can no longer reley on the smooth functioning of the body and the spinal reflexes. It has to do extra work to protect an injury. The extra work will create the need for more sleep in order for the brain to build up its resources again.

That is my theory developed over the years of coping with my health disibility.

It may not always be the pain that hinders sleep. I thought it was till an American doctor I met on holiday suggested I had sleep apnoea - I now have a CPAP machine and it helps.
