I just started pumping a few weeks ago and haven't noticed that it has made a difference in how I sleep. I hook the pump on my pajama pants.

I wear a pouch around my neck that I put my pump in.

i honestly dont know how i can stand it sometimes lol.
I will either have it clipped on the side opposite of which i sleep on, or sometimes i'll just unclip it from my waistband and let it lay by my side.

i get tons of questions about how i can sleep with it on.
Alot of times i'll wake up and my headphones and tubing will be all tangled together, usually wrapped around my waist lol. :D

I have both the OmniPod and a CGM. I've found with the OmniPod I am able to sleep however I want, but I did also at one time the the Deltec Cozmo and as someone who used to sleep on my stomach found myself having to sleep on my side! The CGM site doesn't really bother me but with the freedom of having No wires with the OmniPod where i can place it anywhere hasn't bothered me!!! It's great to be wireless!!

I have been pumping for years and have always slept on my stomach. I recently tried a cgm and had no problems sleeping on my stomach.

I sleep on my side. If I feel pressure on the CGM or pump site, I may roll slightly to take the pressure off. I've not noticed any issues with my BGs.

Every time I see this question, I first read it as an accusation, as in, "How can you possibly sleep at night, considering all the horrible things you've done?" :).

Anyway, when I was on the pump, I always tried to wear something with pockets, and I'd just stick it in there. Of course, it often fell out, but, so long as I was asleep, I didn't really notice.

I have been pumping for 2 years and sometimes use the cgm and I have never had a problem sleeping. I lay my pump beside me when I go to bed and then toss and turn all night and when I wake up it will be all tangled in the covers and around me. I am a heavy sleeper and move all the time and I have never had anything yank out. I do ocasionally wake up with a knot in my back from laying on my pump all night. :/

I have worn a pump for 8 years and have never had a problem sleeping with it. I just toss it off to the side.

I had the CGM on for 6 days, along with my pump on the other side. Honestly I didnt even notice the CGM. I am a crazy sleeper (i have woken up with my infusion set out) and mostly sleep on my sides and stomach. I didnt have a problem at all with it.
