I tend to sleep on my side in bed as sleeping flat on my back tends to make it harder to sleep and yes my back is messed up from past accidents too and not the weight and sleeping in a cool room helps me sleep longer as well.

Also some meds that people take on a daily basis will make them balloon up as well for those like me that have seen a lot of doctors and still do and need certain meds on a daily basis.

You probably tried sleeping on your side by now so my advice may not be helpful but I do understand what your going through.

Fairfox: Shirley.
You shouldn't call him that when he's serious.
I snore heavily and I have a serious back injury. Oh, and anytime I gain/lose weight, it's all in my gut. Right now, because of the back injury, I've got the bigger gut going.

Sleeping on my back is near impossible because of my pain & my snoring. Sleeping on my belly, I wake up with tremendous pain in my back. Sleeping on my side gives me tremendous pain in my hips (I'm a little bow-legged).

The solution for me? A side posture body pillow designed for pregnant women. It keeps my knees, hips, back, and neck all in alignment so I can sleep without waking up so much. I don't even use a regular head pillow anymore, because of the elongated C-shape of the body pillow. I've attached a pic that best resembles my body pillow and my sleeping position. This thing has done wonders for me since buying it just a few months ago.

(And no, I am not the smiling blonde chick in the pic....I'm a dude)

JesperU: slept flat on his back like it was nothing.
I can't sleep on my back, it's extremely uncomfortable for some reason.

I think I must have been a slut in my previous life.

Did it help you with your pregnancy?

If not, you can always check this thread out - https://www.gog.com/forum/general/what_are_you_eating

Other than that, might want to consider seeing a chiropractor for a spinal alignment. Next best thing to sex!

Diabetes also does the trick. But death is still the best diet...

JesperU: I have a question. I weight in on about 70 kg and I'm quite short for my length due to birth defect in my spine.
So yeah, I'm overweight. Or rather obese.

Anyway, on to my question. I seem to have problems sleeping lying down. It appears that i can only sleep while sitting up, leaning against a wall. The problem with this is I get some serious pains in my neck, shoulders and upper back in the morning. Do this have something to do with my weight, that I can't sleep lying down?
70 KG isn't that big at all. You should probably see a doctor. Your sleep loss probably has other causes rather than your weight.

He said he's really short, though. That can be fairly overweight if you're any shorter than 5'2".

So I can lose weight by reading your posts?

Not cool man. My parents both passed away because of it.
If you can lie down fine without pain or anything but just can't sleep, you *may* have conditional insomnia or similar neurological issue.

Do you have trouble breathing while lying down? The weight could be an issue, then.

As anyone else has said - discuss with a *good* GP who actually gives a shit about the wellbeing of their patients.
