Pain in the back
Whenever I actually get my "required" amount of sleep (8 hours or more), I always wake up insanely stiff and sore (often my lower back). I mean to the point where I can't move. This only happens on weekends, when I'm able to get more than 5-6 hours of sleep. It's so bad that I have to get my husband to help me get out of bed. Once I'm up, I'm perfectly fine. I thought it might be our mattress, so we went out and bought a really nice, expensive new one (supposed to be supportive and good for bad backs), and we also bought $50 pillows, instead of the cheap $3 ones you get at Wal-mart. But I still wake up in extreme pain. Is this normal?? I am rarely sore on week days, since I'm LUCKY to get 5 or 6 hours of sleep (which sucks since I'm always tired).
