Why Do I Wake Up With Neck Pain?

Waking up with neck pain can throw off your entire day. Whether it’s stiffness, soreness, or sharp discomfort, morning neck pain is more common than you might think—and often preventable.
Common Causes of Morning Neck Pain
-
Poor Sleep Posture: Sleeping awkwardly or with the wrong number of pillows can strain your neck.
-
Unsupportive Pillow or Mattress: These can misalign your neck and spine while you sleep.
-
Old Injuries or Muscle Tension: Past injuries or daily posture habits (like tech neck) can flare up overnight.
How to Prevent Neck Pain While Sleeping
-
Use a cervical-support pillow to maintain natural spinal alignment.
-
Sleep on your back or side, not your stomach.
-
Do gentle neck stretches before bed to release tension.
-
Update your mattress if it’s too soft or sagging.
