How long did it take you learn that? Did you have any system to do that? Eg. every night lay on the back 15 minutes longer? Or you just had couple of sleepless nights until you got used to it?

Well, it helped that doing anything other than lying on my back triggered absolutely massive waves of pain. So I didn't really have a choice. I recommend taking a sleep aid beforehand and following all the usual advice for insomnia - avoid screens, read a book, lower the lights.

It felt very weird for about 3 nights, and after a few weeks started to feel natural.

So it seems that just keeping position on back should do the trick. Sleeping on back sounds so abstract and not fitting to me... that I need to give it a try! Thanks for sharing your experience!
