Im always trying to find educational articles and videos for help with my chronic pain. I never found them until now! Thanks for showing what’s happening inside the body and giving good descriptions as to why something may not work!

I stopped my neck pain by sleeping with a travel neck pillow. I got a smaller one that wasn't to bulky and snaps closed so that when I turn over it stays around my neck. I still sleep on a regular pillow with it wraped around my neck. I think it works well because it fills the void around my neck giving me great support. I had pain on one side of my neck from behind my ear down to my shoulder and at the base of my head. I would awake to neck pain and headaches almost daily. I told my aunt one day and she recommended the travel neck pillow and I am so thankful. My neck pain has been gone ever since.

What kind of travel pillow.

@cherio70

@@terrik8581 just a basic neck pillow that wraps around your neck and fastens with a snap or velcro so it stays put when you turn over...the brand I am using is bcozzy...google it. I actually bought a smaller one so there is not to much bulk around my neck....you want to still be able to lay your head down against a regular pillow while wearing the neck pillow. You are really just filling in the space around your neck for support. It will keep the curve in your neck when you sleep on your back also. Maintaining the curve in your neck helps with pain. You can also try wrapping a towel around your neck for stability but you will need to find a way to make it stay put while you are sleeping.

@@MkVarietype Ich schlafe auf der Seite und auf dem Rücken. Ich beginne zuerst auf dem Rücken und wechsle dann auf die Seite. Das Schlafen auf dem Rücken ist gut für den Körper, da Sie in dieser Position weniger Druckpunkte haben. Sie müssen jedoch darauf achten, dass Ihre Knie, Ihr unterer Rücken und Ihr Nacken richtig gestützt werden. Es ist nicht gut, wenn Sie schnarchen oder an Schlafapnoe leiden.

I am a side sleeper, until I fall asleep.; from there, I roll to my back and end up waking up with a stiff neck. Never able to find a pillow for side & back sleepers until your 3 towel roll suggestion!!! Can't wait to try it tonight!!

Very informative video. Recently I've found out that I have cervical lordosis and cervical spondylosis. This video is so useful for me. Thank you

Thank you!!!! This is incredible! Nice work. So helpful and I feel results already.

Very helpful and demonstrated and filmed very well. Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to try having one pillow.

Best explanation and demonstration(s) ive ever had the pleasure of listening and observing on KZread. Thank you. Im now a proud subscriber.

This is brilliant! And a good presentation. Thank you so much. Very helpful for me

So glad I found this information. Keep up the good work. much success

Thank you for the video and good advice. I use a C-shaped travel pillow turned backwards (the wrong way round), so that the two ends form a hollow that (sort of) cradles the back of my head. I've slept on this cushion for many years, and also use it to sleep on my side, though I don't sleep right on my shoulder -- I have a small cushion that I wedge against my back, so that I sleep partly on my back, partly on my side.

This is the best information if found about sleeping posture for both me and my wife, and I've been searching for years

this was really helpful i ddnt know i had been doing this wrong for my whole life . sent this for everybody i knew ty

Thank you. I've try already with roles towel and put it in my back what you deed its really helped. Thanks

The video is beautiful and informative, and your voice is so calming

Thank you so much Sir, MAY GOD bless you

Will be trying these new way of sleeping to help my neck pain. Good video! Nice voice, very soothing.

I always make sure to inlcude my shoulders on the pillow so my neck wont be flexed. Flexed neck can make you snore. As a recovery nurse who deals with airway all the time, it is better to have the neck on neutral or slightly extended like you're sniffing the morning air, so your airway is "open", and less chances of tongue obstruction.

Once again, thank you for doing videos on sleeping. Please keep making more content.

So glad I came across this video. I had been experiencing back neck and shoulder pain and stiffness on my right side. I’d do stretches, ice packs, and hot showers that would relax my muscles. I’d still wake up with the pain and stiffness. Thank you for clarifying which positions work and don’t work. I will try the towel in pillow to support my neck.

Oh man this was exactly what I was looking for. Neck ache for days no matter what pillow I used. Gonna start using the position with the pillow on the upper back. Also... That trick at about 8:18 with the thumbs up and you waiting for the lower third to fade in post... That's some serious filmography skill man. Really impressed, gave me a chuckle.

would love to know if sleeping on your upper back helped you. I'm facing the same problem with neck and shoulder pain for a week or so :(

Nicely explained video !!

I can’t believe I actually used the rolled towel method instinctively to sleep when I have neck and shoulder aches. It just feels so good. Talking about side sleeping, it’s really ostracised by those influencers who are into anti-ageing. They discouraged side sleeping, which is so comfortable and natural (like foetal position in the womb). These influencers promote face up position but it’s really uncomfortable (at least for me).

Amazing techniques. 👍

I have a migraine and sinus issue. So i use the 8:28 method. Really help a lot and cheaper. After i got some money, i bought the ikea pillow. It worked perfectly fine.

Thank you so much! I will try your suggestions, I was sleeping with a double pillow and have horrendous neck pains. Hope it helps!

Love your work kid 😎

Gonna test this tonight. Thanks Nick

I was around 25 when I had huge pain in my neck. I changed a few pillows. Once I was to my grand-mother and she told me "may be your pillow is high" so i started sleeping with a very thin pillow and the pain went away! The elder people are wiser ;)

Keep up the good work

Thank you it really works for me

The video I needed to watch

Very good info. I am a side sleeper with large breast. Been having shoulder impingement and neck pain. Saw a video on adding a small pillow under upper/rib cage areas, which leaves a gap for shoulder relief/ somewhat. I do use a memory foam contoured pillow. Also using pillows to prop up my arm to keep from leaning forward. Any other tips would be appreciated 😊

Great information will try tonight

Great video!! Thanks

Tq dr excellent 👌 information

Thank you very much.

thank you so much 👍

Glad I watched this, as I have recently started sleeping part of the night without my pillow to try and help with my neck pain. What about for those of us that change positions throughout the night though? I usually switch between sleeping on my back and sleeping on my side.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you Rita

Those curved pillows are great! I am a small lady and got one that adjusts to my neck height. I am blessed with a long neck, but since I am so small I still need a pillow that isn't tall. I sleep like a bear using this pillow and my neck pain (herniated disc) is getting much better. Now the pain is mostly stiffness and with stretching things are much better and I can train with weights at the gym again. The adjustable pillows are the best and I highly recommend them.

Interesting,i really like it.

Thank you for working on this video. Have you seen, used and reviewed the Derila Pillow? I am interested in knowing what you think of it. Thank you in advance.

Very good video, sir.

Thank you Doc

Great sir thanks

Thank you..Now i know wheres the Tingling down my arms came from. I tried a curved Orthopaedic pillow.

I have been using a pillow with neck curve/support for many years, however I just diagnosed with flat neck yesterday. What would you suggest me to do? Should I use the 3-towel with no pillow method?

Thank you

I found a pillow that was perfect, after I realized my previous pillow was too thick and my chin was down. With my current pillow I sleep exactly how you describe it here, one pillow just over my shoulders. Basically mostly supporting the curve of my neck. It reduced headache and neck pain I used to get after I wake up from naps.

Thank you …..

I’ve completely modified my pillow. I bought a child’s pillow. Rolled it up. Put ties around the ends so it stays rolled nice and tight. Then added snaps at the corners and the center (me being ocd about it lol). Tuck it in a small pillow case. Turn it over so snaps are on the mattress side. Good to go. I struggled with my pillow for years until I figured this out. Tootsie roll for my neck 😂

What about keeping your shoulders back underneath your ears? Modifying your pillow still seems to keep the shoulders rounded in when you lay on your back. Trapezius pain right behind of the left side of the neck pain?

Great video. Question on something I am not sure I understood. I have a contour pillow. Are you not suppose to put a bit of your shoulders/back over the pillow when using contour pillow? Or is this just good when sleeping with a regular pillow?

Can you use a travel neck pillow during sleep, too?

All contour pillows are not firm enough for me to support my neck curvature so I use a rolled up towel as you described in your video.
