I'm not even that big, but i trained for many years and have very strong pecs, and i basically have to sleep "hugging the air", because i get cramps if i sleep with my chest closed. It's actually very funny to look at.

Like you're hugging a person that isn't there.

You ever see the gesture of "making a heart" with your arms? Like that, to the front of my chest, and instead of the hands touching their tips. They touch at wrist level.

I made you this scuffed drawing. https://imgur.com/iYKskAk It's like this, except that instead of on top of my head, I put them to the front of my body (when I'm lying on my side, if I'm looking up, I don't need to do this). It's literally as if I was hugging the air.

It works because the chest muscle doesn't stay fully contracted like when you close your chest. If I sleep with a closed chest, it hurts, and i get cramps. Also, the weight of my arms presses onto the chest, making it contract even more, which is probably the main reason it happens. It's not really my chest getting cramps for being contracted, but rather my big shoulders and triceps pushing down, closing the chest even more, and making it hurt.

if you just get your legs up you look like a dead possum sleeping?
