Neck pain is awful, I know. You need a good ergonomic pillow, one that supports your neck's natural curve. I found that sleeping on my back with a rolled towel under my neck, or on my side with a pillow that keeps my head aligned with my spine, helps immensely. Avoid sleeping on your stomach.
Oh beta, neck pain is very troublesome. My mother always said to put a warm cloth on the neck before sleeping, it helps relax the muscles. And try to sleep on your back, not on your stomach. A soft pillow is also important, not too hard. Get well soon, dear.
I just recovered from a terrible stiff neck! What helped me was applying a pain relief gel and then using a heat pack for about 15 minutes before bed. And I switched to a memory foam pillow that's specifically for neck support. It made a huge difference, finally slept properly after days.
For working professionals, bad posture during work is often the culprit. Before sleep, a few minutes of gentle neck stretches (look up some safe ones online) can alleviate tension. If it's chronic, consider investing in an ergonomic office chair and definitely consult a physio. Time is money, so fix it fast.
Neck pain at night? That's just my body telling me I'm getting old, haan! I usually just keep shifting until I find a position that doesn't feel like my head is going to fall off. But seriously, a hot compress and a firm but comfortable pillow are my current best friends. Good luck!
