Hey,

Does anyone have one of those foam mattresses that support your back and body so well.
If so does it help our condition much? I'd like to know because I'd like to buy one. They are
supposed to be "heavenly."
thanks. skycastle.

I have one and it helps, had to turn it recently as it had developed a depression. However, it doesn't do anything for the DSPS, it's just a comfortable bed. Erika

Yes, I have to agree with the bed thing. It does nothing for DSPS however it can help a LOT with the quality of the sleep you do get, i.e. if your one of the few that can force a regular wake up time you'll still be a zombie but at least you get a little more rem sleep then those that can't afford or do not have a really comfortable bed.

I actually bought a $2000 bed thinking it would help but it didn't really, it did keep me from tossing more than i used to and i am getting more quality out of the sleep i do get but really DSPS is more of a time issue than an amount of sleep issue, regardless if you get 8 hours a night you eventually 'make it up' on the weekends or end up taking days off. I can't even count the number of times i've laid awake in bed until about an hour before i was to be at work just to call in 'sick' rather than deal with all the dirty looks i'd get showing up 2 hours late and looking like i just rolled out of bed... which of course i had.

sucks to be us /shrug
