It keeps me awake at night and I can t seem to find a comfortable position either lying down or sitting up. I have tried taking ibuprofen.

Hello,
You can take up to thrice a day. However, Naproxen is not safe for long periods. You can consider alternatives like Tramadol which is comparatively safer.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
