@timmo Hello, dealing with neck discomfort, the best positions for sleep are on your back or side. These positions are less stressful. Sleeping on your back helps maintain your spine’s natural curves. You can use a thinner pillow in this position than you would when sleeping on your side. Your head position should be only slightly raised so that it’s at a similar angle as when you’re standing. Sleeping is one of the best ways to keep your head neutral, with your chin straight ahead. When sleeping in this position, it’s a good idea to use a pillow high enough to keep your neck neutral but not so high that your upper ear is forced toward your shoulder. Do avoid sleeping on your stomach. Thanks!
