Hi...
Your pain in your low back could be due to muscle spasm...in your back..
The spasm could occur instantaneously and can last longer till it get treatment...what you had might be a low grade one you are not experiencing any issues with that in your day to day activities...
This spasm could limit the spinal mobility and that is what you feel as pain while sleeping as it is subjected to stretch in that position...
I suggest you to kindly do lot if icing..
Gently stretch your low back and oblique muscles...
If you have a foam roller, you can lie on it and roll your back....
Follow it up with icing...
Don't lift any weight for now...
Increased lordosis is a postural issue may not be contributing to this problem so much....so don't worry about that...
Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back in case you need any further clarification...
