What is the cause of the stiff neck?

First, if you don't pay attention to keeping warm during sleep, you can make your neck cold or cool in midsummer.

Third: the role of the pillow is to keep the balance between the head and lumbar spine, so that the cervical spine will not be compressed. If the pillow is too hard, the contact surface between the head and the pillow is too little, and the local pressure is too large, resulting in too much pressure on the local nerve, and numbness or pain in the head, neck, back, arm, hand and other parts the next morning; And too soft pillow is difficult to maintain the height of the pillow, and the scalp compression area is large, which is not conducive to blood circulation. At the same time, the poor air permeability makes it difficult to fully breathe during sleep, which also increases the probability of falling.
