Why do we feel most sore from a workout after we have slept and sometimes worse after 2 nights of sleep?

Shouldn’t our bodies immediately react to whatever trials we just experienced? I can feel a cut right away, but ripping muscles can wait? If we didn’t sleep for 72 hours, would it hold off until then?

Using your example of cutting yourself, yes it hurts straight away, but 2 days later it would also hurt if you poked it. Similar thing. Your muscles are recovering, and they are mildly brushed and swollen, so when you use them, which is basically all the time, they hurt.
