The only thing that helps me sleep when my tummy is bad (except for a Vicidon, it's a rx pain pill) is my heating pad. I know the label says not to sleep with it, but I have been doing it for 15 years without any problems. I don't like to sleep in PJ's (can't stand the pressure) so I put my heating pad in a pillow case and set it on the medium setting. This does tend to make you warmer all over, so as someone else mentioned turn the thermastat down! I always sleep with a fan on. Not only does the breeze feel good, but I find the steady sound of the fan to be relaxing. I also have a few CD's that are espeacially made for sleep, the sounds are meant to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. If your concerned about leaving a heating pad on all night, you can buy portable packs that you put in your pantys that I use during the day if I'm really bad. You can get them at the drugstore buy the femine products, I think Therm-Care makes them. Hope you get some good sleep and feel better soon!
