Hii. Most of the time this problem happens because of reduced flexibility of the neck and improper sleeping position. It can also happen if you use too much of computers or mobile in a wrong posture especially before going to bed. The muscles do not relax properly and next day they are in spasm. Try to reduce using of computers and mobiles before bed time, stretch those muscles, relax your neck and then go to bed. Using pillow will not be a problem. You have to use the right pillow thats all. Regarding pillows,
