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?

DOMS

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is muscle pain that begins after you’ve worked out. It normally starts a day or two after a workout.

Pain felt during or immediately after a workout is a different kind of muscle soreness. It’s called acute muscle soreness. Acute muscle soreness is that burning sensation you feel in a muscle during a workout due to a quick buildup of lactic acid It usually disappears as soon as or shortly after you stop exercising.
