My neck hurts when I wake up in the morning. I sleep without pillow and we changed from spring mattress to ordinary mattress two months ago due to my neck pain. It is not as bad as it was when I slept on spring mattress but I don't feel fresh in the morning because of the pain. I usually sleep on my back than on my sides. No injuries.

Use cotton mattresses, as the last resort to your problem. You might be having axial neck pain due to spondylosis, for which you need to do neck stretching and strengthening exercises as advised by a good physiotherapist. Early morning walk in sunshine will help replenish your body stores of vit. D, a deficiency of which causes the body aches, lethargy and general fatigue. Take a diet rich in calcium and vit. D like egges, milk, non veg food, papaya, spinacha, ragi, soyabean etc. Hope this helps.
