Sleep Injuries
Sleep injuries occur when poor sleeping positions or habits put undue stress on the muscles, joints, and spine, leading to pain or discomfort upon waking. Common sleep-related injuries include:
​
Neck pain
Shoulder strain
Lower back pain
Hip discomfort
These injuries can result from awkward sleeping postures, improper mattress or pillow support, or underlying issues like poor posture that worsen during sleep.
