Yeah I assume my sphincter problem is genetic since several family members have it too.
I use a simple mechanical solution - go to sleep on a wedge pillow. Works way better for me than H2 blockers (which would last for 6 hours of sleep, then I'd wake up with horrible reflux because they'd worn off and thanks to the rebound effect, my body was making even more acid to compensate).
By comparison, now if I wake up later in the night now I can usually remove the wedge pillow and go back to sleep with no problem.
