If you’ve ever woken up from a nap with a sore neck, you probably understand how uncomfortable this pain can be. It can be a pretty annoying way to start your day. However, there are some simple tricks to follow that can help you say “good night” to a stiff neck.
Soft Pillows
Even if stiffer pillows are your personal preference, pillows that are too high or tough can put extra strain on your neck. Try using a lighter feather pillow that prevents your neck from becoming flexed throughout the night.
Sleep On Your Back
If you are a side sleeper or a stomach sleeper, sleeping on your back may feel strange at first. But in general, sleeping on your back allows your spine to rest naturally and comfortably, dramatically decreasing your risk of morning neck pain.
Pillow Between Legs For Side Sleepers
If you sleep on your side, putting a large pillow in between your knees can make a huge difference. This simple trick helps keep your neck in line with your spine and provides your legs with extra comfort as a bonus.
