In & Out of Bed

Here are a couple of tips to help you get in and out of bed more comfortably.

To lie down: Sit on the edge of the bed, pull your arms to your sides and tilt your body into the bed, maintaining the bend of your knees at 45 degrees. Finally, bring your feet into a lying position or roll onto your back.

To get up: From a side-lying position with your knees bent, push your body upright into a sitting position, swinging your legs over the edge of the bed as you rise.
