4. Choose a Good Pillow

5. Make Sure You Are Using a Mattress 

That's too old or old usually does not provide support for your neck and spine. This becomes one of the causes of stiff neck when waking up. Therefore, make sure you use a good mattress or bedding that can help your neck and spine to be in an ideal position.

6. Avoid Sleeping Prone

 Sleep face down has a major influence on the health of the neck and spine. Therefore, try to sleep sideways or on your back (recommended sideways to the right). In modern medical science shows a lot of evidence of the dangers of sleeping face down or stomach. Especially if in this position you sleep soundly and long. Because it can cause the flow of oxygen to be less and result in shortness of breath due to the chest muscle or breathing does not work with the maximum. Apply a healthy lifestyle, and keep good sleep patterns. Not recommended to sleep too late, it is advisable to meet the needs of sleep at least 6-8 hours a day. Note also the pillow and mattress shape that you use to sustain comfort during sleep. 

For Muslims, praying and performing ablution before bed can be a good and healthy habit. By applying a healthy lifestyle and a good sleep pattern, you will avoid a stiff neck after waking up and risk of other illnesses wallahuaklam..
