i am 75 with djd in hips, lower back, shoulders etc. i am a light sleeper and am uncomfortable when lying in bed for extended periods (1 to 3 hours), as in waking up in middle of night. sometimes i only get 3 to 5 hours sleep, which exhausts me during day. i have had lumbar and hip surgery. getting to sleep and staying are both issues. i don't take opiates, but medical marijuana with some success. i am also on beta blocker to regulate arrhythmia. i am generally relaxed when retiring, just don't sleep very readily.
