Sleepless Nights with Arthritis, Neck or Back Pain

Sleepless Nights with Arthritis, Neck
or Back Pain
I can really relate to readers who
have trouble sleeping due to severe
pain. I could not count all the
sleepless nights I had when my neck
was out (after literally being hit by a
truck).
Of course, I assumed that my neck
pain was keeping me up. This is
exactly what many people suffering
from Arthritis, neck, back, TMJ or
other pain complain about it.
You understand how it is not possible to sleep when your joints are
squeaking.
However, there is a twist to this. It is something I did not realize until
my neck began to get better.
You see, as I began doing the exercises I teach in my neck pain
program, I began to feel a lot better on a daily basis. Most of the time, I
did not even notice pain in my neck at all.
However, it came nights that I did not sleep very well. Sometimes I was
flying overnight, other times it was anxiety or it excitement that kept
me up.
No matter what the reason for my sleeplessness was, the next day my
neck always hurt as if … you know, not heaven.
I have heard the same comments from many readers suffering from any
type of pain.
If you do not sleep well, all other health issues get worse.
So why is that? What does good sleep have to do with pain relief?
During the day, we are so busy taking care of everything out there in
the world that our bodies cannot restore themselves. Sure, we take a
few pit stops here and there but that is just so we can make it through
the day.
It is when we sleep that the natural doctors and nurses of our bodies
get to work. They are able to breathe with the relief that our conscious
mind is gone away and our much smarter subconscious has taken over.
As we dream about the green, green, grass of home, our growth
hormones and white blood cells spread around the body, restoring
harmed joints and sore muscles.
The tricky part is that it takes 90 minutes of sleep to get the maximum
amount of healing hormone and cell production going. After that,
amounts that are more moderate are produced and delivered
throughout the night.
Therefore, if you do get a constant, 2-3 hours of good, deep,
uninterrupted sleep; your body never manages to bring itself up to its
maximum production power. In addition, anything that is not essential
suffers.
Therefore, if you are suffering from pain, regardless of what it is, I am
sure you have checked out our neck pain program or our new arthritis
program. They are both very helpful and thousands of people have
benefited from them.
Also, make sure you get a good night’s sleep every night. Our natural
insomnia program has been very helpful for this. Although easy fixes
like relaxing before going to sleep and not staying up too long may be
all you need.
