I go back to the joke, specifically when House did a similar joke when he was in clinic:
Patient: Doctor! When I bend over like this bends over, and I move my leg to the right like this twists leg to the right, and I take my palm and do this takes palm and presses it against the side of his thigh, I get excruciating shooting pains that go from my thigh to the tips of my toes!
Doctor: So you bend over?
Patent: Yes.
Doctor: and then you twist your leg?
Patient: Yes, like this shows how he twists his leg again.
Doctor: and then you press on your thigh with your palm.
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: And that causes intense pain?
Patient: Yes!
Doctor: And you direly want that pain to not occur?
Patient: YES! Doctor, it has taken over my life, I need it to stop!
Doctor: THEN STOP DOING THAT!
As an intermittent insomnia sufferer who depends on a very specific sleep ritual to actually get good sleep, I feel the pain, but yes... the answer a doctor is going to give is "stop doing that".
The new mattress/fuckload of pillows is some on point advice.
