Why doesn't the Sandman come to me?

I have debated this question for quite some time. Why does it seem everyone in this house can fall asleep on a dime and stay asleep without interruption? Except...Me. I realize my chronic nerve pain in my back doesn't help but, I should at least deserve at minimum 2-3 nights a Month to sleep well. Right?

This is a glimpse of how my night goes. I go to bed around 10:30 11:00pm. I stay asleep for about 2 hours. Wake up stiff take the pillow from between my knees move it to the side, remove the covers, flip over in one fail safe jumping move, reposition my pillow, put the covers back over me and go back to sleep. every hour to hour-half I repeat this process.

Last night I decided to make a joke about it and told Sunni to guess what letter in the alphabet would = to how many times I flipped. She said "S", Eric said "T". I woke up this morning and jostled Eric. He woke up in a half-sleep daze and said "So what letter did you get to?" ....."L" what does that mean? I tossed 12 times from 11pm-6am. Not as much as they guessed but more then I ever though.

We will play again tonight!

**I'm trying to find anti-medication ways to help my sleep. Down pillows? Down mattress cover? I have a memory foam on my mattress right now but it's not helping. I will be off to the store soon to find something to cure my insomnia. (The night before last I was forced to sleep for at least two hours in Sunni's bed. It was "that bad")
