Anyone notice pain much worse at night?

I'm nearly at the half century too, so I don't think it's the old-timers syndrome. But I also have worse back pain when laying down at night. Also, getting the right pillow configuration is vital for my neck, especially since my ADR surgery in January. I agree that being up and moving is the best, not only for the mental distraction during the day but it seems to allow better alignment vs. sleeping.
