    =================================
    The only thing worse than shoulder pain is shoulder pain that wakes you up in the middle of the night.
    We all know that sleep is important for healing; it’s the body’s time to recharge, recover, and repair. But when your sleep gets interrupted by the very thing it’s trying to heal… well… that’s a recipe for disaster.
    Most often the shoulder pain that you’re experiencing in the night or in the morning is due to your sleeping position with that shoulder. Most people unknowingly put too much pressure on it or hold it in such a position that stress is placed on already-impaired structures.
    If you suffer from shoulder pain that is waking you up at night or hurts so bad you can barely move it in the morning DO NOT despair! One of the best things you can do for it is to make some simple adjustments to HOW you’re sleeping to get a better night’s rest free from shoulder pain.
    In this video I’m sharing four simple tips to eliminate your nighttime shoulder pain. These are different fixes for your sleeping positions to decrease stress on your shoulder and help you to sleep better.
    I’ll present this in a “Top Four” format - we’ll countdown the four worst sleeping positions for your shoulder and I’ll give you some simple tips on what you can do instead to make for a more restful, comfortable night.
    WORST SLEEP POSITIONS FOR SHOULDER PAIN - AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD!
    4. ON YOUR BACK WITH YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD - it’s better to bring that arm down to your side, but even then it’s still in an extended position and can put stress on the front of your shoulder. Instead lay on back and supported under your your elbow
    3. ON YOUR NON-PAINFUL SIDE, INJURED SIDE UP - Grab two pillows to hold it up (2 pillows better than one). Prop one under your elbow and the other in front of your body.
    2. ON YOUR PAINFUL SIDE, INJURED SIDE DOWN - Best thing to do is unload it. Grab two pillows and put one about 6 inches below the other. This creates a canal to unload the shoulder as you have one supporting your torso and the other supporting your head/neck.
    1. ON YOUR STOMACH WITH YOUR ARMS UNDER YOUR HEAD
    Honestly the fix here is just don’t do it. If you want to fix your shoulder pain, neck pain, upper back pain, and lower back pain - you need to stop sleeping on your stomach.
    I hope those tips help you to sleep better with your shoulder pain. I give those to my physical therapy patients regularly and I know they can be super effective. I hope you find them helpful in alleviating your pain as well.
    If you are experiencing shoulder pain, one of the best ways to relieve it is with the proper home rehabilitation exercises. These videos are some of my best stretching and strengthening routines you can do at home to alleviate shoulder pain:

      I used to sleep on my back with both arms straight overhead like I was under arrest. I didnt start that way but I ended up that way. Now I sleep with an arm wrapped around a sleeping cat in one arm and a pillow under the other one.

      I’m sleeping on my right side but tend to shift back and forth under the night. But this summer I hurt my left shoulder and ended up with a frozen shoulder that really hurts. I tried all the pillow remedies but I wakes up in the middle of the night with pains and the pillows on the floor. They help as long they are still in position but ends up in a mess. So what can I do? Keep on trying because it’s like everything else. You have to teach your body to accept the new situation.

    I'm a side sleeper, don't, can't, won't sleep on my back or stomach. I discovered or created the shoulder 'canal' or 'trough' for myself a good while ago and am very pleased to see here on your video that I've been doing the right thing. It's seems to really be helping my right shoulder.

  • @L.i.s.a....

    Oh yes, I can attest to the extra pillows support- I am one of those folks that must sleep on left side which happens to be my sore shoulder /rotator. The gap with pillows is perfect for sleeping on my sore side. I also turn slightly on back with a pillow behind me as you described so well in this video. It was a life saver. Thank you to you and your wife for a really great, educational channel!

    I cant thank you enough. After my neck surgery I was having trouble sleeping and had so much shoulder pain that It took everything I had just to put a shirt on. I was working on my Shoulder pain in Physical therapy with no relief. I was actually starting to get depressed about it.
    I came across your video and gave it a try. What a difference. Seriously after the first night I could lift my arm above my shoulder again. I sleep and feel so much better now. I actually wake up early just to see how much better I feel. This has been life changing. Thank you

I somehow got used to sleeping on my stomach with my arms up and was suffering from shoulder pain. I couldn’t even lift my arm up to put my shirt on for 2 weeks. I can now raise my hand up with no pain in my shoulder at all! Saved me a trip to urgent care or the emergency room. Thank you!!!

I do not want to pay a specialist to learn how to properly sleep because i am saving sincr my gf is pregnant and we dont make much money. As the responsible man, i need my health for my new family's sake but with this pain i feel useless cuz moving my arm, turning my head to look right when i drive, putting a shirt on, ect all hurts alot.
    You are amazing and thank you from the bottom of my heart

    Have been sleeping on my left side from past 12 to 15 years and finally been diagnosed with shoulder impingement. Tried too many exercises, which helped me to reduce pain but needed a better and comfortable sleeping position. This comment is immediately after trying the first position (pillow 45 degrees half on chest) for 5 seconds and the instant relief was great. So commenting this while holding my phone with left hand and aggregating the pain. 😜But the first position really helped. Will comment further on remaining positions.
    Edit. #2 position is great as well. The relief is amazing. However this only for people who can sleep with too many pillows. But as he said earlier sleeping with dozens of pillows is better than waking up of pain. #3 position is really bad and should be avoided at any cost. Making a canal and tilting a bit on our back side helps a bit but is not as helpful as #1 and #2. So please try to avoid #3. #4 is a big no. Can't do anything for #4 people because it's not only hurting your shoulders but your spine, chest and God knows what not. So #1 and #2 are best so far.
    Not a doctor not a fan just trying to help who are suffering like me.

    Hi,
    Since you asked about sleeping positions, I'm happy to share mine which is quite specific & intricate, and works very well for me. I sleep mostly on my right side, with two pillows.
    Under my head I use a dense Tempurpedic pillow for support. Feather pillows collapse so they're no good. I like to have my head at the same angle as my body.
    Then I use a full-length, Tempurpedic body pillow to 'hug'; I affectionately call it my "huggy pillow". When I'm laying on my side, if I don't have this body pillow, my left arm would hang and my knees would meet and cause tension. With the body pillow, my left arm & leg rest gently across it. Plus, I have the body pillow come right up against my lower jaw to keep my mouth closed and prevent snoring by forcing me to breath through my nose. Between my head pillow and my body pillow is a gap just perfect for my right arm.
    Not done yet. My going-to-bed regiment is not complete without an earbud in my left ear, listening to something on TH-cam. I know this might sound crazy, but I cannot sleep with complete silence, or even soothing sounds like White Noise. I need to listen to something in order to keep my brain from going into overdrive and stirring over the day's stress.
    With that, I'm inevitably out in 10-15 minutes.

I can’t sleep on my back and laying on either side was just too painful, so I tried the side-sleeping pillow positions and it was such a relief to the pain. I only woke up once in the night and I wasn’t in as much pain in the morning. Thank you so much!

    I have had bicep tendonitis for months on end without any improvement at all; I had visited a physiotherapist (who gave me exercises) a chiropractor (who gave massages) and a doctor (who just said to wait it out). Despite that, no noticeable improvement. When I tried the 3:40 sleeping position, my recovery improved dramatically - this has been virtually a life changer as far as i'm concerned. I am now slowly getting back to previous functionality. THANK YOU for uploading this. I was searching only for shoulder exercises but then the blessed algorithm suggested me this.
    NOTE: For the 3:40 sleeping position, I do add an extra pillow underneath so that my arm is not even slightly bending downwards; its at a total 90 degree angle relative to my side. I have taken this an extra step forward, so when I sit on the coach I have pillows under my arm to support it there also.

    Thanks so much for this video! I mainly sleep on my back and on my side (affected shoulder side up). For the past two nights, I've followed your advice and I didn't wake up with shoulder pain. I see now the mistakes I was making. I don't care how many pillows it takes. I want to get a good night's sleep! Thanks again!

    This video just came up in my recommend feed. That's how I've been sleeping for years. I use my big "my pillow" for hugging and a smaller one between my elbow and ribs/waist. Then there's one for my bottom arm to lean up against to ease elbow extension. And, last but not least, a reasonably flat one been my knees/thighs. Sounds like overkill, but it helps.

    • @professorroundbottom438

    Massive difference in a couple of days.

    I have slept on the couch which is very firm (& on the side) for many weeks due to depression + insomnia, and now I have shoulders pain. I thought it was because of my lifestyle (i workout a lot) but my sleeping position might be one of the reason I’m in pain right now. None of the rehab workout work to elevate the pain (kind of a burning pain, like someone is stretching my tendon 24/7). I will force myself to sleep on my bed and on my back for now and will come back for an update in a couples of weeks so my situation might help others who are dealing with the same pain. Cya

    I sleep exactly as described here on the injured side with a smaller flat pillow under torso with a dip for shoulder and a slight turn of back onto. a squishy pillow. Opens the chest for breathing. For me this is most comfortable with or w/o shoulder pain. Love your videos, Jared!

    Honestly saw this few weeks ago & position 2 with shoulder under torso & rolling back was a game changer. Had this rare shoulder pain only when sleeping on my right shoulder for first time ever for weeks which felt awful, thought it was just sprain would go in few days, this really eased the pain/comfort & thankfully most the pains gone. Also back generally feels better with pos 2 as feels supported.

    I have both shoulders that hurt. Right one is the worse. Not only the shoulder blade its the ribs, arms, hands too. For 13+ years now. The past 5 + years the left shoulder blade etc, arm have gotten worse because I've tried to sleep on that side all this time. I do do some better in a recliner "sometimes"

    I had found this to be true. However, it makes for an dispute over bed space now. So... I know sleep in the recliner most of the night, and it helps A LOT. When I do sleep in bed, I definitely relate to #3 and will be adding that second pillow under the elbow of my arm. Currently I use just the first pillow under my arm to prop it off bed.

    I don't know what I did to make my shoulder angry, but it's certainly demanding a lot of my attention. Trying to sleep has been the worst. These seem to make sense; I'll be trying them. I might have to get creative with some plushies though; I don't have a pile of pillows.
