I currently sleep with the window cracked open right by my head, and I fix the rare kinks in my neck by taking pillows off the bed. I've been sleeping on a futon on a platform for years, which others consider a torture rack.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746635408036628822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-16910792395646673772012-02-16T07:01:04.235-08:002012-02-16T07:01:04.235-08:00Good post, Chris.

Prior to that, I would go stretches of alternating between the floor and bed.<br />I have found that I tend to sleep uninterrupted while sleeping in bed, yet when I wake I feel sore, stiff and not refreshed. Sleeping on the floor, I will wake several times during the night, but when I do get up, I feel more refreshed without the aches or pains. My back spasms have also eased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-23747001202820116492012-02-15T14:47:19.305-08:002012-02-15T14:47:19.305-08:00On the subject of pre-industrial sleep, you may wa...On the subject of pre-industrial sleep, you may want to read Roger Ekrich's "At Day's CLose: Night in Times Past". Ekrich points out that segmented sleep is the evolutionary norm as opposed to the unbroken eight-hour sleep of modern life.
