I swear most of the shit people say about aging is made up (or at least that it's not so cut-and-dry as "this starts happening the microsecond you hit 40 years of age"), I've been having this type of post-sleep-ache thing happen to me for as long as I can remember, at least since I was in my early 20s. Sometimes complications of having a shitty human body happen, as long as it's not something serious/chronic you just roll with it until it goes away.
Although also I noticed that losing a considerable amount of weight did help me with reducing general acheyness.

I had this earlier this year while staying with my inlaws for a few weeks. The mattress in their spare room was a super uncomfortable spring type and the pillow was way too thin and soft. I think the way I was sleeping to compensate for the discomfort of the bed was also putting a ton of pressure on my shoulder joint.
What helped me was alternating the side I slept on, positioning my shoulder in a way to avoid putting pressure on it while sleeping, and in the morning doing shoulder circles to slowly iron out my range of motion.
Haven't experienced such pain but I wake up every other day with numb fingers because I put my arm in the wrong position lmao
extremely relatable. Finding the right stack of thin and soft pillows to support my head and interleave my arm into seems to have kept that particular demon at bay lately.
Yeah my shoulder has been fucked for a long time tho and sleep me is a shit and will roll onto it. Pain sometimes can be really intense and not let up for ages and also make my fingers go numb and feel stiff
I find that bolster pillows help
Yep. I did the same thing, and lifting kings behind me too much, and ignored it.
I got a torn rotator now.
