Sleeping Issues & Back Pain

Not sure if this advice has already been on the boards but I thought it was good advice so I wanted to share. 

I have had a rough time finding a good sleeping position lately, on Tuesday I asked my doctor for advice. I normally fall asleep on my side and wake up on my back, which has been causing some serious back pain. She suggested using those stupid pillows that we use as decorations and end up on the floor, as a prop. Lay on your side and roll to your back where your cheek ends up place the pillow there. So when you wake up on your back your propped up on the pillow. She said it would be just enough of a prop to place your hips on a 45 degree angle while still letting you "sleep on your back". I tried it the last two nights and it has mad a world of difference.
