Habits You Didn’t Know Can Damage Your Neck

Pillow Problems

If you’re a back sleeper, a pillow that’s too high or stiff will keep your neck isolated in a flexed position overnight, causing you to wake up with neck pain. A down-filled or memory foam pillow will better conform to the weight of your head. Just make sure you get one that’s the appropriate height. Side sleepers should use a pillow that keeps their spine aligned. A pillow that stays higher under your neck than under your head will offer proper support.
