Stiff Neck

Ever wake up in the middle of the night, realizing you're sleeping in an odd position? Well, one of these nights, I woke up realizing I'm resting my head on my own shoulder and I can't move. My pillow was at least a few centimeters on top of me. The result? Stiff neck, not so hard to imagine isn't it? My colleagues were so tempted to 'help' me twitch my neck whenever they saw me moving awkwardly at work.

My mother has an old superstitious method of 'solving' stiff neck. She'll bring the pillow out and dry it in the sun, then she'll beat (yes, she really beats with a stick) up the pillow. Strangely, usually after she did that, there'll be no more stiff neck / sleeping problem the night after. I tried to do the same here but it doesn't work. Maybe the weather is too cold, the sun is not warm, the magnetic field is different blah blah blah...bottom line is: it doesn't work & I have stiff neck 3days in a row!

When weekend arrives, I finally bring myself together and went to purchase a 'guarantee no stiff neck' hard pillow which cost DKK350!! I'm not sure if the pillow that working (or my money, indirectly), I can finally twist and turn my head around without moving my shoulder, what a relieve! I told my mom when one day I move back to Penang, I'll definitely bring that pillow along! :p

Anyway, if you have any good remedy in preventing / curing stiff neck, please let me know. Always good to keep some tricks that might be useful in future (not that I don't trust my pillow, hehe)
