Shoulder pain at night is common, but not normal.

🔥 Here’s why it happens:
- The shoulder is less stable at night, and sleeping positions can irritate it.
- Pain can be worse because you’re not moving much.

📣 Tips to reduce pain:
- Support your arm with a pillow. If you sleep on your side, your top arm often pulls forward and down, stressing the shoulder and causing pain.
- Don’t sleep directly on the painful shoulder. Direct pressure reduces circulation and irritates already sensitive tissue.
- Avoid sleeping with your arm overhead. Keep it close to your body with light support instead.

Shoulder pain at night isn’t normal—and it’s not something you should push through. Your body is giving you information.

If these tips don’t help, it’s time to have your shoulder looked at so you can protect your sleep, your movement, and your long-term function.

If you’re over 40 and feel like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to—despite eating better, exercising more, and “doing the right things”—this episode is for you.

Dr. Rob Sumner explains why feeling stuck after 40 is not a failure, not laziness, and not a broken metabolism. It’s a biological signal—and one that can be understood and corrected when you stop forcing your body and start supporting it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why trying harder often backfires after 40
• What “stuck” actually means at a systems level
• How inflammation, stress, and recovery affect progress
• Why order matters more than effort as we age
• How the body conserves energy when it feels unsafe
• Where most people go wrong—and how to reset momentum

This is the first episode in a 3-part series designed to help you stop starting over and finally move forward with confidence. Click the link to listen now!
