The kind of pillow you choose and how you sleep on it makes a big difference in how rested you’ll feel when you wake up in the morning.
What causes neck pain at night? Bad habits during the day can cause neck, back and spine pain. Slouching while working, walking or eating is one. Not to mention constantly looking down at your phone or computer can really make your neck ache — a problem that’s been dubbed “text neck” or "tech neck."
The best pillow The rule of thumb for a good pillow is that it should keep your neck parallel to the mattress, rather than bent down or up. A common mistake people make is choosing a pillow that bends your neck forward or to one side. It can feel comfortable at first, but once you fall asleep and your neck isn’t being supported properly, all kinds of neck problems can happen.
