Every morning, I feel like I’ve aged 10 years overnight. My back, neck, and joints feel stiff, and it takes forever to loosen up. Why does this happen, and what can I do about it?

That stiff, creaky feeling is more common than you think, especially as we get older. It’s often due to a combination of things like reduced joint flexibility, sleeping in awkward positions, or not moving enough throughout the day. Your body needs time to “warm up” after being still for hours. To fix it, try gentle stretches before bed and right after waking up—simple moves like toe touches or spinal twists can work wonders. Also, check your mattress and pillow—they might not be giving you the support you need. Staying hydrated and adding more movement to your day can help too. And if it’s really bad, a visit to the doctor might be a good idea to rule out arthritis or other issues.
