How to sleep to reduce neck pain?

Neck pain? What's sleep? haha. But seriously, I used to get it a lot. I think my 'sleep like a pretzel' positions were the culprit. Now I try to keep my head and spine in a straight line, sounds simple but it helps. Still tired though!

Been there, done that, for years. Best advice is a firm mattress and a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck. Not too high, not too flat. Also, do some gentle neck stretches before bed, even 2-3 mins. It really helps relax the muscles.

While good pillows and sleeping positions are important, if your neck pain is persistent or severe, it's always best to get it checked by a doctor. Sometimes it could be more than just a bad sleep position. Better safe than sorry, no?

Hey, I get neck stiffness sometimes too, not sure if it's related to my PCOS or just bad posture. But for sleeping, I find having a small rolled towel under my neck (when sleeping on my back) really helps keep it aligned. Don't overdo it with exercises though, gentle is key.
