Suffering from shoulder pain while sleeping? Here's what you need to know

 Causes of shoulder pain while sleeping

1. Improper support:
• A mattress that is too firm or too soft does not provide enough support for your shoulders. This can create pressure points, leading to pain and discomfort.

1. Poor sleep position:

• Sleeping on your side for long periods without adequate support can put extra pressure on your shoulders, causing you to wake up in pain.

1. Old or worn mattress:

• A mattress that has lost its shape and firmness can no longer properly support your body, which can cause shoulder pain.

1. Medical conditions:

• Conditions such as bursitis, arthritis or a pinched nerve can make the pain worse. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor.

Tips to prevent shoulder pain while sleeping

1. Invest in a suitable mattress:
• Choose a mattress that provides adequate support for your shoulders without causing pressure points. Mattresses with a 7-zone system are ideal because they provide targeted support for specific parts of your body, such as the shoulders and hips.

1. Use an ergonomic pillow:

• A pillow that keeps your head and neck in the correct position can reduce the pressure on your shoulders.

1. Change your sleeping position:

• Try sleeping on your back occasionally to relieve pressure on your shoulders.

1. Regularly replace your mattress:

• Make sure your mattress is not too old and still provides proper support. The average lifespan of a mattress is 8 to 10 years.
