It is usually characterized by pain and difficulty moving the neck, especially when you try to turn your head to the right or left side. Not infrequently can be accompanied by headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain or pain in the arm.
A person may experience a stiff neck when you wake up in the morning or after doing heavy activities. Rigid neck or pain when moved after awakening is also known as Stiff and tightness neck.
In many cases, the pain and stiffness of the neck can disappear naturally within a week. However, in rare cases, it may indicate the need for rapid medical evaluation.

The Factors can Causes of Rigid Neck After Waking Up
1.Shape and Position Pillows
You should pay attention to the shape and position of a good and comfortable pillow when sleeping, it is very important that you do not need to feel stiff neck and pain when waking up. In addition to comfort in sleep, the main function of the pillow is to maintain balance on your neck, in order to prevent problems such as awakening with a stiff neck. Use a pillow that is neither too thick nor fluffy nor too flat or deflated. Pillows that are too thick or fluffy can cause your neck to be too high and if it is too flat or deflated, the neck is in an uncomfortable position because it is too low. Ideally, use a pillow made of soft foam or cotton that can balance the position of your neck during sleep. No need to bother to measure how many corners, when you feel comfortable that's the right size for you. Especially for those who sleep on your side, make sure that your spine is not curved due to pillows that are too low or high.
2.Sleeping Position
In addition to pillow problems, sleeping position also plays an important role. The wrong sleeping position can cause a stiff neck after waking up. To avoid this generally doctors suggest to sleep sideways (to the right or to the left) with a comfortable support. Sleeping on the back can also be an alternative. In addition to preventing neck stiffness, sideways sleep (especially the right side) has many health benefits such as keeping the stomach contents in a stable position, reducing the burden of the heart, resting the stomach, maintaining the health of the lungs and others. For Muslims, this has been recommended in the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
