Tips To Help Keep Your Knees From Hurting When It's Cold Out
At night or while you are sleeping, you aren't moving and you're staying stationary. Which means, your blood isn't flowing like it does during the day when you are actively moving. Right before bedtime, you want to allow your body to wind down and allow it to get in resting mode.
If you go to bed with stiff muscles, you'll wake up with even stiffer muscles! Doing exercises or stretches before bed to help loosen up your knees will help keep your knees from hurting at night, and it won't take you 30 minutes to "warm up" in the morning before you feel like you can get your day started.
In addition, use the tips below to keep your knees from hurting at night when it's cold out.
Sleeping Positions To Help Keep Your Knees From Hurting At Night
- Sleeping on your side- Put a pillow between your knees so they are hip width apart, and have your knees relatively straight.
- Sleeping on your back- Put a pillow underneath your knees to have a slight rise.
