How do I stop myself accidentally hurting myself?

Right now I have an injured shoulder which is affecting the position I can sleep in. Most mornings I find myself stretching as I wake up, just before I’m properly alert. Every single time I do it I hurt my injured shoulder and get a rudely painful awakening.

It’s the unconscious stretch of putting both arms above the head and straightening the elbows while arching the back. Classic morning pandiculation.

How can I stop myself?

Sleep with that arm handcuffed to your side?

Stay in bed until you are 'alert'??
