Sleeping

I always sleep on my left side or stomach with my left arm above my head.  Years back I somehow hurt my rotator cuff, and it was DREADFUL trying to sleep.  Even if I managed to fall asleep in a different position, I would manage to roll over into those positions and wake up in excruciating pain because of it.

Recently I went through it again, albeit only for one night.  When I got my second covid shot in my left arm, it would hurt to the touch or if I lifted it above my head.  Not much sleep at all that night, as I kept waking up in pain from being on top of it or having it up past my head.  Once I would get out of those positions, I couldn't drift off because they were uncomfortable.   Eventually I would fall back asleep, but then rinse and repeat...

Your head is actually about 30 lbs. It causes a lot of stress on rotator cuff. I learned that the hard way. I now sleep on my side with my hands under my chin.
