OK, so I have this problem, and it has bothered me every night for the last year since I dropped
about 35 pounds of body weight.
The layer of fat that used to be on my inner thighs and the insides of my knees disappeared. This
has made sleeping on my sides fairly uncomfortable, due the pressure of one boney knee against the
other. Shifting the top knee so that it rests either on the opposite leg's lower thigh bone or upper
shin bone isn't hardly an improvment, and also this induces some amount of twist in my spine which
has resulted in some stiffness in my lower back.
My technique, a poor one at that, is to grab a big handful of blanket and put it between my knees as
a cushion. That works, but if I roll over in the middle of the night I have to repeat the procedure
and that is usually enough to wake me up (or keep me awake if I am trying to fall asleep). This is
becoming even more of a problem now that the warmth of summer is here - I sleep with only a sheet
with a very light blanket.
How have you life-long skinny biker types dealt with this? Duct tape a pillow to one knee?
Mostly serious,
