Why is it that when we fall we don’t feel the pain the entire day and then after we sleep it feels like we’ve been run over by a tractor?

Whenever I play rugby, nothing hurts after the game, but whenever I wake up the next day, I feel like everything hurts and it also feels like I’m frozen in certain parts where my limbs are attached to my body, they are just hard to move. I know that adrenalin plays a big part, but it isn’t the only thing because it can’t last for so long.

Movement helps delay the inflammatory and stiffening effects as well. During the day you’re up and moving a lot more. When you sleep and you’re stationary, you can wake up stiff and sore because you’ve been immobile for a while.
