It generally happens in case of prolonged sleeping posture specially side turn.. It leads to sapasm of trapezius /sternocleidomastoid muscle. Pain in moving the neck specially left/right side rotation or side bending.

Go to a physiotherapist.. Ultrasonic therapy +IFT +Heating therapy +some stretching exercises will be helpful for sure.
