See below: The fact that you woke up with neck pain suggests it may be related to the position of your neck when you sleep. This may be causing muscle strain or a pinched nerve in the neck. Don't sleep with head elevated on too many pillows and try changing pillows or try a cervical pillow which are available online or in stores. OTC analgesics for pain. Soft cervical collar may help. See Dr if not improving
