- That is a possibility. When you sleep on one side a long time, the blood
- starts to collect more on one side. If it does, your body will turn to try to
- stretch the muscles (which helps the blood move along). If the blood doesn't
- get processed as well, you can get build up in the muscles of stuff which can
- add to that morning ache.
- That is one reason why massage can feel so energizing or even tiring because
- it can get some of the 'bad' stuff out of the muscles for the blood to
- process out of the body.
- You might examine your current exercise program and your current nutritional
- inputs as well. Deal with your body holistically.
