Most of the time, your sleeping position is the culprit. When your cervical spine sits in a stressed or poorly-aligned position for 6-8 hours straight, your muscles tighten, your joints get compressed, and you wake up paying the price. The frustrating part? It keeps happening - night after night - until you fix the root cause. 🛌 WHAT IS THE BEST SLEEPING POSTURE FOR NECK PAIN? Back sleeping with the right pillow is the gold standard for your cervical spine. Side sleeping can work too - as long as your head isn't tilting up or dropping down. Stomach sleeping? That's the one to ditch. It forces your neck into hours of rotation and is one of the most common reasons people wake up stiff, sore, and miserable. 💪 BEST EXERCISES FOR NECK PAIN FROM SLEEPING If you woke up stiff and sore, you don't have to just tough it out. Gentle cervical mobilizations, upper trap stretches, and rotation exercises can get things moving again fast - without making anything worse. These four movements are exactly what a doctor of physical therapy would give you in the clinic, and you can knock them all out in just a few minutes.
