"Awakening" does NOT have to be physically painful and it is enhanced with good sleep and in fact I would question whether you are acting out bliss bunny mentality to shirk some responsibility that you have for maintaining your health.
Hi.. all very valid points. My bed/ mattress are fine, although I did try different things with pillows, toppers etc, but nothing helped. I haven't tried the yoga. I am lucky to have beach on doorstep. It's very private. Large rocks to sit on just as tide is going out. I sit and focus on the waves . It is so peaceful. At night I meditate when in right frame if mind. I can be in a deep sleep ,dreaming , and then my eyes just open and I'm wide awake. It's really bizarre. Also I don't think lockdown is helping as I'm not as active. Under normal circumstances I'm busy living away at my son's for several days a week caring for my toddler grandson , which is quite hard work! And with regard to possible health issues , I would agree that if there are any symptoms don't automatically assume it is awakening symptom. Sometimes it might possibly be a medical concern.
