    EXECUTION 
    I`ve been thinking about creating this thread for awhile now, but just couldnt get around to doing it. Long story short I`ve had a hobby making cosmetics since 2018. Lip balm, face oils, lotions, creams, stuff like that. Initially it started because my spouse couldnt find a proper lip balm so I...

    Back pain after a "good" night’s sleep.

    A little update on things. No I did not have kidney stones, but with winter approaching I think I have an answer. I`m not 100% sure, but the backpain is almost gone now. A very noticable reduction in pain happened when summer ended and I could sleep without air conditioning. I have a guess...

    I got a good one for you. Get people excited to learn building techniques, how to use tools, how to work with concrete, pipes, house wiring etc. Then organize a "workshop" where they get to put said skills into practice, all the while buying their own materials and fixing your own property...

    I`ve never tried, but I got something like a bar counter that I can use to test this for a few weeks, see if that makes a difference.

    So Ive went through the whole list. Aint got no bones missaligned or Bechterew‘s disease. Tried a firm bed for a week, on vacation I made sure to sleep on a "hard" bed. It was a little better, but still not the cause. The pillows, harder and bigger wre of help, I can say for sure that soft and...

    Ok, so here are the results so far: Hot showers did f!ck all. My guess is there is no tightness in the muscle to loosen. CBD(I use crystals), while it helps me fall asleep, doesnt do anything for the pain in the morning. Morning stretching kind of did the trick. It just reduces the time of the...

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Thank you all for the suggestions and advice. To summurize: 1. Try a harder/firmer mattress and knee pilows. 2. More stretching with yoga like exersices. 3. Check with a doctor to confirm/rule out Bechterew‘s disease and make sure its something/nothing structural. 4. CBD oil (crystals I assume...

    P.S. Yes, I did try multiple types of sleeping beds. This is why I bought a new mattress AND I tried the couch, which is pretty comfy. So in total 3 different sleeping locations, same result.

    You should get 8 hours of sleep, bla bla bla. Its f!cking impossible! I`ve been putting real effort into trying to get my sleep in order. Eating earlier in the day, staying away from coffee, make sure that I dont work pass 12:00 AM as I usually did, getting up early so I can do most of my work...
