5 Ways to Ease Neck Pain While Sleeping

Most people don't know how important SLEEP is to getting relief from their neck pain.
There are a few important factors in getting the kind of sleep that heals your pain:
- Stop sleeping on your stomach. Sleeping on your side is a great alternative, and sleeping on your back allows for a truly neutrally-aligned back and neck.
- Visit a chiropractor and ask for a personal assessment of your neck position while sleeping. They will have some insight specifically for your situation.
- Allow yourself enough time for a good night's sleep. Between 6.5 to 8 hours is ideal, giving you time to get enough full, deep sleep.
- Limit alcohol and caffeine before bed. It will help you relax your neck muscles for a deeper sleep.
- If you don't have a Pillo1 yet, bunch a pillow in a log shape under your neck. Allow your head to gently fall over the top so your throat is exposed to the ceiling. This will help to re-educate the body to sleep properly.
Of course, "bunching a pillow together" isn't a good enough solution for most of my clients, who want the best shot at getting real relief from neck pain.
That's why I created the Pillo1, a scientifically-measured neck support pillow, designed to achieve perfect neck position, allowing for restful, healing sleep.
If you follow the instructions above and try out my new Pillo1, I know you'll be feeling better in no time.
