It can be due to spasm of the neck muscles. Numbness at times needs to be evaluated by ortho or Neurosurgeon. But seems like just spasm. Can try some muscle relaxant gels and see if it helps. Better consult your doctor if the pain persists.

Hello...., this could be due to irregular posture assumed during sleeping .or neck twisting exercises. Or due to trauma .. If you have history of trauma get an x Ray and consult orthopedic doctor in nearest hospital . Ice compression heps in reducing swelling .
