If you don’t sleep in the right position, chances are some of your body parts will become sore. Leading the pack of potential issues include that of your neck and your arms. Normally, sleeping as freely as we can is advised. But at some point, we just have to admit that there are sleeping positions that we prefer that are not suitable at all.

Stiff neck is a state that anyone would hate. While we fail to feel that disorder in deep slumber, once you wake up, chances are you would be cursing the way you slept. It is indeed uncomfortable but basing it on how you can improve your sleep position, chances are you may see it recurring.

“Most instances of what people call a ‘crick in the neck’ are caused by a person’s positioning while asleep,” says Dr. Brian Bruel, an assistant professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center with dual appointments in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and anesthesiology and pain management. “You’re sleeping with your neck at a weird angle, and that causes muscle strain.”
