I sort of cup my ear between my thumb and finger so that it's really not resting on the pillow.

I tend to try and fall asleep on my left side as it helps my bowles, but then i found myself lying on my back with my left leg straght and my right leg bent with my foot on my left knee if that makes sense. Hope you find comfot soon

I can only lie on my right side because of my left shoulder pain. I have to sleep with ear plugs and total darkness, but I sometimes have bad ear pains on the side I sleep on. I also have to hold my cheek to help my sinuses whilst I fall asleep. I always wake up with really bad neck and shoulder ache, worse if I sleep heavily or for too long. I wish I had an answer. Sleep is both the best and the worst part of fibromyalgia. You have to get the balance so right.
Best of luck

mmm Dr ?

I can’t sleep on my left side. My thigh hurts too much.
