Just as a note to the backpain guys. My father had several surguries over the years for his "herniated disc". He did the traction thing and all, the pain would actually put him down maybe once a year. Anyway, the point is he had sleep aptnia(sp) as well and ended up at University of Michigan for a couple days worth of sleep studies. They found out he wasn't sleeping hardly at all. Once they discovered this they asked if he had back pain and said it was likely due to the fact that your muscles never really relax until you are in deep sleep. (boy what a rant) anyway he now takes sleep medication and has not had any back pain since(8-10 years now). Worth noting atleast.
