Cervical spine issue: It may be postural or pillow related but you need to get checked for cervical spine disorders. Muscle tension may also cause that.

Muscles or arthritis: Morning stiffness is a common symptom with arthritis and muscular pain. These two things can also be related. Another possibility would be sleeping position, such as head turned or tilted significantly to one side. In addition to trying to keep your head in a relatively neutral position while sleeping, i would recommend a stretching and exercise program.
