Thank you for the advice! I’m so sorry that you have so much trouble with your back, that must be awful. I would definitely use a heating pad if I wasn’t already insufferably hot, lol. If the pain sticks around long-term I will be sure to try it. Main issue at the moment is sciatica.

Yes thankfully I have some Loop earbuds for sleeping, they have been invaluable. I tend to pull them out in a half-asleep state though! I’m sure I will get used to them :)
