Whether it’s an occasional annoyance or a daily struggle, morning neck pain usually stems from:
- Poor sleeping posture and unsupportive pillows
- Overnight muscle tension or clenching
- Long-term effects of tech neck and screen overuse
- Cervical spine compression due to poor alignment during sleep
What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You:
Stiffness in the morning is your body’s way of saying:
“I’ve been compressed, misaligned, and under tension all night...help!”
Neck stiffness can signal long-term postural problems, especially if you spend hours each day on your phone or laptop.
