Some months back, I stopped being able to sleep (or comfortably lie at all) on my left side. Like most of the slowly encroaching issues of my body since getting COVID, something circulation-related happened, this time in my shoulder, and lying on it causes my heart to beat hard and it’s impossible to sleep, or feel like it’s a good idea remaining in that position at all. I keep trying it, just in case, and it doesn’t get better. This is the same shoulder that gave me a whole lot of pain last year, so, I dunno, guess it’s related.

This was disquieting but practically speaking not a huge deal; I’m a side sleeper but don’t prefer sleeping on my left side anyway, and I still had lying on my back to switch between.

A week ago, though, the same problem started on my right side. Like I don’t have enough trouble sleeping.
