Chronic pain and sleep disturbances are deeply interconnected, creating a self-perpetuating cycle that significantly impacts health and wellbeing. Chronic pain is a widespread issue, affecting 3 in 5 Australians over 45 years of age, and is a leading contributor to disturbed sleep. Sleep disturbances, in turn, amplify pain perception and lower the pain threshold, creating a loop that is difficult to break.
