How to Sleep in a Knee Brace
- 1). Check all straps, hook and loop tapes, and any other tapes on the knee brace to ensure that the brace fits snugly.
- 2). Lie comfortably on your back. If you are used to sleeping on your side, you may wish to adjust the number of pillows you are using to keep your back comfortable and completely relaxed.
- 3). Stick a pillow or two underneath the ankle and foot of the leg in the knee brace, to elevate it.
- 4). Lay a blanket over yourself, if you wish. If you want to keep the brace uncovered, consider using two blankets---one across your chest and one on your free leg.
