🌙 What “Bad Sleep” Really Looks Like (Even If You Get 8 Hours)
You might think, “I got my 8 hours… why do I feel worse than before I slept?”
That’s because bad sleep isn’t just about how long you sleep — but how your body rests while you do.
Signs of poor-quality sleep:
- Tossing and turning
- Numb arms or legs when you wake
- Neck, back, or hip stiffness
- Waking up more tired than you went to bed
💤 Why You Might Wake Up Sore or More Tired Than You Went to Bed
When you sleep in an awkward position (or on an unsupportive surface), your muscles don’t get to fully relax.
Instead, they spend hours tense, twisted, or compressed.
Most common causes:
- Wrong pillow height = neck misalignment
- Back sleepers without knee support = lower back strain
- Side sleepers without leg/knee support = hip rotation and back tension
- Soft mattress = lack of spinal support
You’re not lazy. Your body is just waking up from a nightly wrestle.
📏 Your Sleep Setup Might Be Working Against You
It’s not just the mattress — it’s how you support your head, neck, spine, and legs.
And here’s the key: neutral alignment.
Think of a straight line from your head to tailbone — no angles, no twists. That’s what helps your muscles release tension instead of holding on to it.
A few shifts in pillow choice can completely change how your body recovers overnight.
