Stiff neck every morning
Everyday when I wake up I have stiff neck and pain in neck and back. By end of the day the stiffness starts coming down but a little pain will be left. Most of the time i sleep on my back and occasionally on sides or stomach.
I do not use any pillow as i used to get neck pain and headache during sleep. I usually sleep on the ground using a mat. I also cover sweater to say warm.
What can I do to avoid getting stiff neck and pain every morning.

Greetings, sorry about the pain. No to worry, this is not an medical issue but rather poor muscle imbalances around neck area. your Neck stiffness is related to poor flexibility at spine and shoulders.
Next Steps
get a massage done by ayurveda or physio. neck stiffness will go away in couple of days. get to see physio with knowledge about trigger point and posture correction and you will get permanent relief within 10 days time if not even earlier. do keep continuing exercises as adviced by physio, if possible hire physio as personal trainer for couple of months and you can see significant results.

Instead of sleeping without pillow u can use small towel roll supporting ur neck.
