Sleep and pain may be more connected than we think. 💤
Poor sleep may increase pain sensitivity, while pain may also make sleep more difficult. Over time, this can sometimes create a challenging cycle.
Improving sleep may be one helpful piece of the pain management puzzle.
Some habits that may help:
- Consistent sleep and wake times
- Limiting screens before bed
- A dark, quiet sleep environment
- Relaxation or gentle stretching
