80% of my injuries occurred while sleeping, which seems very weird.

The neck is quite vulnerable during sleep and could lead to neck muscle injuries that leave one with a stiff neck for days.

I knew someone who dislocated her shoulder often while sleeping. If I remember right, she's dislocated it 17 times or some ridiculous number.

  • this happens to me quite frequently. i grew up playing years of baseball and my throwing shoulder is a bit loose as it is. combined with the way i fall asleep (on my stomach with my forearm under my pillow) i tend to dislocate or severely strain it pretty regularly
