Check that your pillow supports your neck

Make sure your pillow keeps your head level when you sleep.

Why it helps

A pillow that is too high or flat can leave your neck stiff in the morning. A quick adjustment may help.

How to do it

1. Lie on your usual side.
2. Check that your head is level with your spine.
3. Fold a towel or swap pillows to adjust.

Make it easier

Make it harder

Try a different pillow for a week.
