A member asked:
I've been sleeping at a 45-degree angle for the past year. is it safe to continue sleeping in this position? my concern is forming a blood clot (dvt).

Bed elevation : I think the more important question is why do you need to elevate your head to 45 degrees to sleep? If a normal sleeping position is preventing you from sleeping in a relatively flatter position, this should be investigated.
