idk what medical problem this is but if I sleep on anything less squishy than a certain mysterious cutoff I will wake up continuously throughout the night with the beginnings of pressure sores. basically princess and the pea levels of fussiness about the effects of gravity and a mattress. seems like it could be circulatory or capillary in origin, like the compressed tissue isn't refilling fast enough or doesn't have high enough psi to prevent compression in the first place. in theory mexidol is supposed to be good at treating this kind of thing. sometimes I spend all night feeling like I'm sleeping in greater than earth gravity. sometimes I'm fine. I haven't been able to find any controllable variables except "don't sleep on your side in a way that lets unfleshed locations on the pelvis or tarsals make contact with the mattress"
