Having hip pain at night or while sleeping can cause major disruptions in your life. This is especially true if you are a side sleeper. Hip pain when sleeping on your side, either whether it is one side or both sides, often puts additional strain or pressure on your hips exacerbating preexisting pain. There are a lot of muscles attach on the greater trochanter and the insertion of these muscles get really inflamed and becomes chronic into Gluteal tendinopathy.

For many side sleepers, having hip pain when sleeping on either side is especially annoying because it becomes more difficult to find a comfortable position to fall asleep. As hip pain progresses, it can even develop into a general pain at night no matter what sleeping position you are in!

The best way to approach hip and leg pain when sleeping on your side is to first understand the root cause of that pain.


I will cover some of the most common causes of hip pain when sleeping, but that will not be the main focus. This video covers ways that you can reduce your pain and manage symptoms so that you can get a better night’s sleep and wake up feeling rested.

What causes hip pain when sleeping on your side?
There are several causes of hip pain when sleeping on your side.

No one person is exactly the same and neither is their hip anatomy. The shape of the hip sockets is different from person to person, some people may experience hypermobility issues, and it is also possible that your hip pain is residual from a past or current injury.

Chronic hip pain is something that is often associated with arthritis, bursitis, and osteoarthritis as well. That being said, one of the most common, yet easiest to overlook, causes of hip pain at night is having weak glutes medius and minimus..

The stress on your hips does not stop when you lay down to sleep either. Especially for side sleepers.

You see, when you are lying on your side, your legs are usually stacked on top of each other sometimes connecting at the knees and ankles. Depending on your mattress, the bottom hip may not experience much strain, but the top hip does.

Since the top hip and the rest of your leg are not on the same level, your knee pulls the hip slightly down and the hip feels a strain. If you sleep on your side, you may not notice any discomfort or irritation at first. It may take some time even years for your muscles to become affected by that pull from your knees.


Most side sleepers also tend to curl their knees slightly towards their chest, compounding the tight iliopsoas issue. Despite being in a resting position, your iliopsoas muscles are fully engaged when you’re drawing your thighs and knees slightly up.

All this just goes to say that, although there are many other possible reasons for hip pain when sleeping on your side, don’t overlook something as seemingly simple as tight muscles.
