My partner and I had been going through a very fit stage fall/winter, but then she started working two jobs (she's transitioning out of teaching and wanted to continue on part time to work with her kids through the end of the school year) and so she's been exhausted every night and so we've fallen off our routine of exercise and yoga.

The state of my shoulders is such that just rolling over "incorrectly" in my sleep can cause me to jolt awake in pain.

I can't disagree with that statement. If I can feel a sneeze coming, I'll often crouch down because I've twinged my back from sneezing while standing straight up.
