Starting in my 30's I used to get these horrible cricks in my neck after sleeping wrong (HTF do you do it wrong?). Anyways they would usually go away in a few days, but eventually I started getting them so bad it would last like a week. I finally started going to the chiropractor and that helped a lot. Instant relief, and then usually they'd like to see me a couple more times but honestly once they popped my neck it was much better. Anyways it usually only happened once or twice a year, and then it started happening more and more frequently especially in my 40's. About 5 years ago (maybe more but time flies) I bought this huge "wedge" pillow. Damn thing is like maybe 2 feet wide and has about a 30 degree incline. I just noticed that every time I would sleep "wrong" essentially what happened is my pillow would shift weirdly during the night and my neck would be in an awkward position. Anyways it' so big it doesn't really move at night, I can shift all around it stays put. The pains almost immediately stopped, now I very rarely have any pains at all, and if I do it's very mild.
