“Why does my back sometimes ache when I am trying to sleep?”
I am a 30-year-old male, and sometimes when I am sleeping, or trying to go to sleep my back aches. What could be causing this? Could it just be that I'm sleeping the long way?

Your mattress might be too flexible. Try a firmer one.
There are many reasons this could happen. If you have a physical job, it may be from overuse or lifting improperly and you feel it at the end of the day when there are no distractions. If it doesn't go away with ice, heat, and ibuprofen in a few weeks, evaluation should be considered. If you have symptoms that radiate down one or both legs, an evaluation is warranted to make sure you do not have a slipped disc or something significant.
