Have you ever wondered why you wake up with neck pain each morning? Wrong sleeping position and gear are one of the many causes of this popular complaint. As minor as a sore neck may seem, this can bring serious discomfort affecting your action in a day or two, so it’s best to address the issue as soon as possible. Check out these tips on how to avoid experiencing one.
Invest on high-grade fluffy feather pillows. As soon as you lay your head in one of these, the pillow immediately ‘hugs’ your head, effectively conforming to its shape. Another substitute is the trendy memory foam which pretty much does the same job. Both of these pillows are specially made to provide pressure relief and support; allowing equal weight distribution that supports both the head and neck
If you’re a side sleeper, use a pillow that’s higher under your neck than your head. By doing so, the spine is kept straight and neighboring muscles, nerves and the like are not compressed. And if you’re into more sleeping on your stomach, you should make an effort to change the habit and start sleeping on your back or side in a healthy well-supported position.
