Hi. I hear you. It's quite alright. The cast keeps everything together, that's what it's on for. I used to sleep on my side with my knee bent and my leg on a pillow. I was fearful too and was blowing up everything out of proportion. Don't worry and just know it's for a short time only.

horrible isn't it? for me cast was comfortable when i as half seated but i couldn't sleep that way..couldn't sleep on side either..but after a few days, you'll find a position to get some sleep and in a few more weeks, you'll finally find it all easier...honest!!!
