Well I got some sleep. It wasnt the best sleep but it was good sleep. Extra hydration seemed to work for me. Still crack at night which I gotta get away from.

Posture on the other hand does have alot to do with cracking I would say. If you could direct me to your posts I can see what you all debated about. Id say when your body is at a resting state and your spine is aligned you should feel more relaxed its when theres slight out of alignment is when cracking would be at its worst. I do alot with ergonomics so this would play a part. Id say more movement instead of sitting at a computer would lead to less cracking. But thats my two pennies, take it for what its worth. Not a cracking expert.

Anyone else have two pennies about my odd cracking at night?

Its a little of both, half of it i spend at my desk half of it I walk around a factory floor. I work in a health and safety department.

Thus again why this is odd, I know ergonomics and follow all that stuff to a tee. So its not posture or anything related there.

The fact that I havent slept in 4 days now isnt the biggest thing. Its been my whole life.

NO one else does this?

I am single, thus my relationships struggles. Haha.

I dont think i could get hypnotised, i think it wouldnt work.

Is there a name for what im going through?

Stress lately. Just the normal work stress. Relationship problems, I mean nothing out the norm.

Like Ive said its been going on forever, and not really one thing or another triggers it, other wise id cut that out.

Like even now I have to move my wrists and they crack like an acordian, and I hate it, but its like I have to do it.

Maybe hypnosis. haha, im really reaching now.

Yeah the chiropractor made it feel good for a little bit but just made it sore. Didnt stop my sleeping habits.

Are there known doctors on this site, and I cannot believe Im the only one in the world that has this.

I NEED SLEEP! haha.

No partner unfortunately. Just my lonesome.

Ive never been to a physiotherapist, what do they do? Ive tried just about everyone else.

I first want to say thanks for the replys.

I dont know how I first started this all. But its like when I sleep my body needs to crack itself, like ill mix my body up into all kinds of positions to crack it. Ill shove my arms under my pillows to crack my shoulders, then my wrists and usually my fingers. I move my legs all the time.

Today im sore, like dont want to move sore, because I havent slept and my body has been active.

I havent had an injury ever (knock on wood) Im healthy as can be. Ive tried the bath thing, didnt really work. It doesnt happen every night in which i cannot sleep but it does happen every night at some point. I dont think i can remember a good nights sleep ever.

Interesting idea, except I hate cracking my body. It hurts and its annoying. It makes my body ache and doesnt give me any good sensation.

It just seems that I cannot have a decent nights sleep, I need to get rid of it.

Im currently 25 and needed to post this somewhere since no one has ever been able to help me. Im a work professional and dont do have any bad habits and also very active in sports.

My problem is I havent slept in 3 days. All I have done for the last 3 nights is crack my shoulders, neck, fingers, wrist and legs. This isnt the first time this happens Ive done it my whole life. It always wakes my up and makes me really uncomfortable in the morning.

Now that Im older it is severly effecting my every day life.

Someone please HELP! Any insight or how to deal with it. Ive asked my doctors, nothing, ive googled, and this is the closest place Ive gotten.

Thanks in advance.
