sleeping without the cage

Like I’ve noted elsewhere, I try to wear the cage as little as possible. During the day it’s rare for me to have it on, but it works well at night. Sometimes when excitement keeps me awake, wearing it helps me drift off quickly; the issue is morning wood around 5AM, where often I must take the cage off because the pressure becomes so intense that it causes sharp pain (though not every single morning). I realize many of you keep your cages on during daylight hours and slip them off at night: any advice for sleeping? When desire peaks, which position do you prefer? Without the cage, my biggest struggle is that even slight contact with sheets triggers arousal and the risk of orgasm. I really want to stop wearing it at least while I sleep!
