I’ve just spent a week with my back taped up after I could barely move for a couple of days as I’d managed to do some damage to my back that caused some discs to bulge.
Lying in bed and trying to heave myself over, using my hands to physically shift my body (simple rolling, out of the question) was a struggle and further interrupted my all too precious sleep.
Whilst lying there in my cotton PJs I remembered a hack I’d learned when heavily pregnant and having trouble rolling over and it’s truly so simple and makes total sense when you think about it.
Wear satin pyjamas if turning in bed is hard or painful.
That’s right. Such a simple solution.
That smooth silky surface makes it so much easier to turn over in bed as the fabric slides and glides as you move. Whether you’ve got a bad back, had an operation that limits movement and your core, or are pregnant and have just hit that uncomfortable time of the pregnancy.
No need to get out the satin sheet set! A pair of silky PJs will do the trick for you and give you a much better nights sleep!

I hope you will soon be, or better yet, already are feeling better!
On the subject of sleepwear: I wish I could find zip-front hooded nightshirt s or nightgown s. A hood is not only comfortable in winter, but also when a fan is blowing,, and can be pulled down when the room is too bright. Zip front is romantic, with shoulder coverage.
Thanks it’s on the mend! Maybe you’ll have to make one!
See, tips like this one NEVER show up in women’s magazines!
Hope your back doesn’t give you any more grief—- thank you for the satin pajamas tip.
I don’t think magazines talk about back pain, surgery recovery or late pregnancy with regards to fashion choices!
Thanks – back is getting much better! And women’s magazines are about fantasy not reality!
My sister had Parkinson’s Disease. I made her satin pajamas which helped her turn in bed.
What a lovely thing to do for your sister.
hope you feel much better soon, Imogen!
