If you already have chronic pain, especially in your neck or back, the way that you sleep could make it worse. Likewise, the chronic pain could impair your regular sleep routine, which is why you should learn ways to attempt having a more restful night. In this article, you’ll learn tips from the National Sleep Foundation on how to change your daily routine to provide for a more restful night of sleep.
