@_awbery_ BTW thanks to the magic of amazon prime I will now be trying both sleep interventions you suggested tonight. Will report back. :-)
I'm currently... intrigued by but a little skeptical about the buckwheat pillow.
Yay for Amazon Prime. It’s certainly worth trying different bedding arrangements to find what suits you. I was recommended memory foam and tried different varieties of mattress and pillows, but they never worked for me. One of the most comfortable beds I slept in was tatami.
