If the pain is worse at night after a car accident
의료 감수 Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD
If the pain is worse at night after a car accident, start by checking your sleeping posture.
During the day, frequent movement and changes in posture keep the muscles somewhat engaged, but while you sleep the whole body relaxes, and the injured area gets pressed in the wrong direction for a long time. Since you spend 6 to 8 hours in the same posture, a single sleeping position has a big effect on how fast you recover.
- It hurts more at night and in the morning than during the day
- You sleep face-down, or your pillow doesn't fit you
After an accident, nighttime care matters as much as daytime treatment.
