03-11-2009 - numb bottom?

My mood while writing this blog: ouch!

hi ladies, looking for some advice.

For the last couple of weeks i have been having really bad nights sleeping. It takes ages to get comfortable and when i do i sleep for a short while and then wake because my bum cheeks have gone numb. It's not like a pins and needles numb it's like a done too much exercise and they are stiff numb, but it's not that ive done too much exercise. So i have to shift position and eventually fall back to sleep just to wake again with the same problem. I usually sleep on my side, either side i don't prefer one or the other and occassionally i'll sleep on my back but thats rare. I've tried a cushion between my knees and between my thighs, and i've also tried some soft thin cushions under my bottom but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
