Arthritis is an affliction of the joints and its related muscles. While pain is a natural consequence of the disease, there are several reasons why arthritis flares up at night.
Tired
When you are going about your daily activities and spending time with family and friends, you aren't focusing so much on the pain. At night, when all is quiet and you are laying in bed, you are more likely to notice arthritic pain in its entirety.
Alcohol and Caffeine
If you have had too much alcohol or caffeine-based drinks in the afternoon, chances are you will suffer arthritic pain at night.
Excessive Food And Drink
Overeating, especially of spicy food, and drinking a lot of liquids can also lead to increased pain at night.
Exercise
Exercise of any kind three hours before you go to bed can give you a sleepless, painfilled night.
Psychological Factors
Fatigue is also an important cause of arthritic pain being worse at night. This could be from pushing yourself too much. There is also pain that is a result of stress. Most people worry about their dependence on drugs as well as family in the advanced stages of the disease.
