    When I Wake Up

    I have been really sore. I think it's from the wonderful position I sleep in. But my lower back and shoulders just kill me. I have been stretching, using some ice, and taking Motrin. Any suggestion to prevent this or ideas why are welcome.

    alittle off topic but what the hey. A couple of years ago I had a job where I had to work irregular hours, so I was real tired all the time. And I always fell a sleep with my arm under my head. So when I woke up I couldnt move my arm, and I had to lift it with the other arm. It took a good 5min until I could move it, real scary the first time.

    Haha, I've had that happen to me too Big. It sucks when you have to wake up to go to the bathroom and one of your arms isn't working!

    Allie, just try not to sleep in that position if you can. It might be hard at first but eventually it should get easier. Or maybe you could use a pillow to make it more comfortable?

    is it because of your sleep?
    how old are you? I notice that a lot of young people have this similar problem, something that you just seem to grow out of.

    At any rate, I used to get this same problem severely where sometimes I couldn't breath properly because of tension in the upper back between the shoulder blades, stetched and exercised it heaps and eventually i stopped getting that problem. I think that it was more to do with posture than anything. For me, this is from being a student hunched over books way into the night...

    Well thats the only way I can fall asleep, I have tried everything to sleep better, nothing. I like my flamingo position, but it's killing me. As for my age... I'm 20, so sleeping really shouldn't be this stressful

    See what I mean, the flamingo is great way to sleep, but my arms have been falling asleep and sore when I wake up. Although last night wasn't too bad I think I actually fell asleep on my side. I know who else stresses this much over sleep.

    It's OK, my afternoon class was cancelled today, so I can take a nap It's been a long time since I got to skip class for a nap LOL

    LOL Yeah it's a joke with a friend. I rushed last spring and well things with that sorority didn't work out because nationals closed them. So for the second time now I'm rushing.

    Glad somebody caught it LOL

    Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.
