A member asked:
Why would muscles be tight after sleeping? isn't sleep the resting time for the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of reasons: Yes you do rest but your body goes through an active phase too. Also from staying in basically one position you can get stiff especially if you are older.
