As we all know, sleep is essential to our health because it helps rejuvenate the mind and body and provides us with a much-needed space to relax and reinvigorate after a long day. As a result, while one should wake up feeling refreshed and energized, some people complain of body aches on a daily basis, despite a good night’s sleep. What causes this to happen? “There could be several causes for waking up with body aches.
