Proper sleep is very important to good physical and mental health. Studies show that it is easier for people with less than five hours of  horizontal sleep time to have lower back disc problems. Back and neck pain often makes sleep difficulty. Here are some ticks to put an end to your neck and back pain overnight.

  1. Use a mattress that isn’t too soft. A too soft bed provides no support and gives a continual stress on the joints of spine. The body weight decides the hardness of bed. The heavier a person, the harder the bed should be. One easy method is to change your old mattress.
  2. Sleep on your back. Sleeping on your back can maintain a neutral spine position and  relieve pressure on the lower back and neck. In addition, you should use a puffy pillow that supports your head and neck.
  3. Become a side-sleeper. When lying on your side, the key to avoid neck pain is to support your neck with a pillow to keep it level. If your pillow is too thick, your neck will be bent. If your pillow is too thin, you will lie on your hands which can cause carpel tunnel syndrome in your wrist.
  4. Do not sleep on your stomach. Sleeping on your stomach twists your neck to one side and imposes pressure on your nerves and joints. This will cause extreme discomfort and pain.
