Poor sleep habits can cause neck pain and prevent patients from achieving neck pain relief. Even if you don’t suffer from arthritis or a herniated disc, bad sleeping habits can pressure the nerves in your neck and cause discomfort.
Neck pain sufferers who sleep on their stomachs only worsen their physical condition. Even if arthritis makes it hard for you to sleep on your back, sleeping on your stomach can contort your body into uncomfortable positions.
So how can you change your sleep habits and find neck pain relief? For starters, try sleeping on your side or your back with a small, rolled-up towel inside your pillow. By supporting your neck and aligning your head with your spine, this sleep position can help alleviate neck stiffness and neck soreness in the morning.
