Not Sleeping Well? There May Be a Medical Cause

Chronic pain

Pain and sleep problems frequently occur together. Chronic pain that disrupts sleep can also stem from injury and over-training. (I see a lot of patients with sleeplessness who over-do it with exercise.) As many as 90 percent of chronic pain sufferers also struggle with sleep problems, according to research. Pain and sleep have a complicated relationship: Pain interferes with sleep, and poor sleep can aggravate pain.
