Is Pain Amplified by Being in a Tired State?
Question by Kristoffer: Is pain amplified by being in a tired state?
I’ve got a root canal bright and early in the morning, around 7:00 AM. I work night shifts and I just got done with tonight’s shift. I’ve got a hour and a half drive ahead of me before I can hope to get some sleep. I’m debating staying up throughout the night to get to the appointment on time. I’m well rested from the previous night.
The question:
Is the nervous system is more susceptible to pain if I am half asleep?
