There is a need for further experimental research in order to gain a more in-depth understanding of this vicious cycle of pain and sleep disorders. Although the effects of chronic pain and its impact on sleep have been extensively researched, the influence of sleep on acute pain has been addressed in only a limited number of studies. A more comprehensive grasp of the manner in which sleep influences the pain sensory profile subsequent to an acute injury may offer insight into the significance of sleep during recovery stage. In this respect, the objective of this study was to examine the effect of sleep on pain perception, pain sensitivity and range of motion following the induction of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) through eccentric loading, specifically through the performance of squat exercises.
