The position you sleep in can reduce or increase neck pain. While sleeping on your back or side can lower the strain on your neck, sleeping on your stomach can elevate the pain.

Sitting in a bad posture can lead to neck stiffness and pain. Put your bottom back against the chair and then recline back with your head raised and your neck relaxed.
