Default sleep help needed

I am sleeping really badly and I have no idea why, I get off to sleep ok,
but I wake up many many times for no reason and what sleep I do get doesn't
seem to be restful.

I was in bed from 10pm to 8am last night, but it feels like I got 5 or 6
hours sleep. My one thought last night was maybe the room was stuffy, but
leaving the window slightly open last night didn't seem to help.

Suggestions?

Suggestions?

Warm milk before bed always works for me... keeps me not full, but not
empty for a while over night. Tend to get back to sleep easier after
peeing if I've had warm milk

Good luck!

P.S. another suggestion is to change sleeping arrangements, ie, add
another pillow somewhere, between knees, or behind back. Something that
makes sleeping not so 'same-ish'.

luckily I'm not having to get up to pee, I just drank some hot chocolate, so
fingers crossed

I need to go out and buy some more pillows, we literally have 3, we don't
even have any cushions, I'm also considering a single duvet to use as a body
pillow.

Cheers

I have two body pillows (folded, between my legs), one or two pillows wedged
in behind my back, one under my belly, one under my head, and one or two
under my arms. One always ends up on the floor.

I started sleeping with my head a bit elevated (like three pillows
worth) but stil on my left side with a body pillow between knees. The
elevated head prevented my acid reflux from waking me up.
Good luck!
