    Tired of waking up with a stiff, painful neck in the morning? The problem could very well be your sleeping position! In this video, I’ll cover the best sleeping postures and what you can do to sleep comfortably, resulting in a better night’s sleep without any morning neck pain!
    WHAT IS THE BEST SLEEP POSITION?
    Honestly the best sleep position is one that holds your spine a neutral position comfortably. That’s it! “Neutral” simply means not flexed forward or backwards, side to side, or rotated. As long as you can maintain a relaxed, neutral position at your neck and rest comfortably you’re doing it right!
    WHY DO I WAKE UP WITH NECK PAIN?
    If you do wake up with a stiff, painful neck in the morning, chances are it’s because you did not hold your head in a neutral position through the night. It may have been rotated to one side, bent to one side, or flexed too far forward. Your joints don’t like to be held in these end-ranges of their motion for long periods of time and if they are - they’ll let you know about it.
    BEST SLEEP POSITIONS FOR NECK PAIN
    In this video, I’ll discuss the three most-common sleeping positions: on your stomach, on your side, and on your back, and share some tips to maintain a better neck position which will result in a better sleep with less pain in the morning.
    PEOPLE MOVE IN THEIR SLEEP
    One fact that I am VERY aware of (thanks to thousands of UA-cam comments on other videos) is that people rarely stay in one position all night. That’s not new information. However, if I can help you to at least fall asleep and spend the first couple of hours in the right position, you’ll be surprised at how much it can help your neck pain!
    SLEEPING ON YOUR STOMACH WITH NECK PAIN (2:35)
    Honestly this is the worst position you can sleep in for your neck. You have to spend all night with your head rotated at end range for a long period of time. This typically results in a higher incidence of neck pain and cervical headache/muscle knots. If you are experiencing neck pain when you sleep or when you wake up in the morning - the first thing you might try is to get off your stomach.
    SLEEPING ON YOUR SIDE WITH NECK PAIN (4:12)
    Choose a pillow that will hold your head/neck in neutral alignment. This is usually accomplished with 2 pillows or you can double one of them over. You can also try a rolled-up towel to fill cavity between your head and shoulders.
    SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK WITH NECK PAIN (7:49)
    Oftentimes people use 2 pillows as they’re reading, watching TV, looking at their phone, etc, right before bed. This puts your neck in an awful position - especially if you stay there all night. Try using just one pillow to keep your head in a more neutral position. A small rolled up towel on your neck can also help to fill the “cavity” caused by the natural curve in your neck.

    lately ive been sleeping on my stomach as a side sleeper for all my life. ive been, as long as i can remember, a right side sleeper cuz its the most comfortable. its the side that makes me feel relaxed the most. i avoid making my migraine worse so on right side really helps. when im on my left i feel my migraine so bad, my mind is racing and i feel panicky as hell. i wake up with an even worse migraine. but a year or two ago i think my right sleeping habit has shown side effects that i havent encountered. maybe its me getting old and having chronic fatigue with no exercise to add, that my right arm feel like its been stressed out from being pressed by my body to the point my arm/shoulder bones kinda cracks and feels numb whenever i rotate it to certain directions. i also feel my ribs on my right hurting a bit specially when i try to breathe deep. my right jaw as well has been kinda pushed that it misaligned my teeth positioning. im a hypochondriac so hopefully certain exercises for fatigue can lessen the bone pains i feel

    I've gone and bought a memory foam half-round bolster pillow meant for behind the knees to help with SI joint pain as you mentioned in one of your videos. I've found out it also works well to support my head and neck gap when side sleeping. Now I question the purpose and design of a large pillow when maybe we just need a small one that does the job perfectly. A bed full of pillows for me means most of the time they end up on the floor in the morning. Thanks again for a useful video.

Waking up and CONSTANTLY having neck pain is the worst. I always avoided sleeping on my back because I have a big butt and it hurts my back lol😅 and I never tried sleeping with a pillow under my legs while on my back. Definitely going to give these a try!

I was broken up in a truck crash nearly 15 years ago and I've lived in constant pain since. It just comes with the territory I suppose. But I use so many of your videos and advise to help ward off as pain as possible. That's why I am so appreciative of your knowledge, care, and dedication you show in your medical practice.

    Edit* doesn't help I just had collarbone surgery leaving me to only sleep on my back or my right side. Probably doesn't help when I'm sleeping on one side for most the night lol

    Omg! I've been sleeping really bad for years. I ordered the roll already. I have a cervical pillow and about 8 different pillows but they never really worked. Last night I tried rolling a towel, and this just already changed my life. Thank you so much!! Have a nice day everyone!!

    Hey Jared! I have subscribed recently and watched soooooo many of your videos! They are always so full of information and you have helped me a lot with reducing muscle tension, and relaxing muscle knots. I also have trouble sleeping comfortably and this video was useful (as was another you uploaded in the past).
    However there is one really big thing that prevents me from getting really comfortable that you have not covered and I would really like your advice on. What do I do with my arms when sleeping on my side?? Whenever I try to sleep on my side and I get my good alignment for my spine as you suggest, It ends up in a position where my entire body weight is on my arm, and I can't end up holding this spot. If I move my arm out from under my body and try to replace the gap with a pillow to keep the spine alignment, my shoulder position is now very far forward and also putting me in an uncomfortable spot.
    I used to be a stomach sleeper and have broken out of that bad habit, but side sleeping is never truly comfortable because of the arm positioning issue, any advice or suggestions would be awesome. Thank you again for all of the amazing videos and help :)
    (As a quick note I also can't quite get comfy while back sleeping, but the wedge you showed in the video looks interesting and could help, however It could be awhile since I could get my hands on one, and side sleeping in general does feel better for me than back sleeping.)

      Hi luxdrag0N - great question! I had actually covered that in the video originally but it became too long. One great solution is to put a pillow under your torso (against your ribs. If you do this it creates a small "cavity" between the pillow under your head and the pillow under your torso that unweights your shoulder just enough to make it more comfortable. That said - if you try that keep in mind you may have to increase the height of your head pillow, also, as you've adjusted the angle that your head meets the pillow. Hope that helps!

      I've been spending the last hour searching for the same answer to luxdrag0N's question and am so glad I found Jared's channel and this question on this particular video! I've had lifelong neck and shoulder pain from poor sleep positions that have recently led to chronic migraines. I've started making some alignment changes with pillows, but now I'm dealing with numb arms on my side 😅 I'll try this out tonight and adjust my head pillow height accordingly. I know I ultimately need to change my mattress, but I hope this can help alleviate the pain until I do get a new one. Thanks Jared! And luxdrag0N, hope you figured out what worked for your arms!

Even if I lie down I cannot get up without anyone's help. Without any help even if I try I will feel hell lot of a pain.

    I tried the rolled up towel and everything else for side sleepers, including x3 various butterfly pillows. But they all make my neck even worse when I try them out. I get worse neck pain, like a nerve pain and a headache guaranteed.
    When I use my pillow, half of the week I wake with neck pain, knots, achiness, sometimes a headache. The other nights are so-so, not as distracting or debilitating but the pain is still there.
    Any other recommendations besides going to the doctor's?

      Experiencing your exact symptoms. After MRI, My Nuerologist (Migraine w/aurora sufferer) sent me to a Neurosurgeon because two of my vertebrae are not aligned and no fluid between disc. There's disc degeneration and pressing of the spinal chord. The condition is not uncommon. He's confident surgery will abate the increased migraine pain with radiating pain in the back and arms, but we will try pain management (injections) first.
