It has been postulated that poor sleep posture during the night may be responsible for the production of waking cervical and lumbar symptoms. Other types of symptoms like stiffness and bothersomeness, still important to patients, are less well documented. The prevalence of both cervical and lumbar pain has increased markedly (cervical 21.1% and lumbar 17.3%) over the past 25 years, and these rates are expected to continue rising. Spinal symptoms are common and mostly occur in the cervical and lumbar regions, with a one-year point prevalence of 30 to 50% for cervical pain and 38% for lumbar pain. Nonetheless, a proportion of the population who are asymptomatic when retiring wake with spinal symptoms and others with existing spinal symptoms wake with exacerbations of their retiring spinal symptoms. Sleep is considered essential for human mental and physical recovery, with some people going to bed in pain, to wake recovered.
