How to sleep with a sprained ankle?

Beta, you must keep the sprained foot raised higher than your heart level using a couple of pillows. Before sleeping, you can apply a simple warm paste of turmeric and salt if there is no open wound, but do not massage it at all. Let the joint rest completely.

I sprained my ankle during Zumba last month and sleeping was a nightmare. I found that sleeping on my back with a wedge pillow under my knees and ankles kept it totally stable. Try to avoid turning on your side because the weight of the blanket can twist it again.

Just use a normal bedsheet or extra pillow to create a support barrier on both sides of your foot so you don't roll over in your sleep. It is a simple ghar ka tarika that works wonders. If the pain is too sharp to sleep, ask your doctor for a safe painkiller patch.

Pillows are going to be your best friends tonight! Just stack them up under your leg and try to relax with some nice music 🎵. Avoid moving around too much and sleep like a queen!
