A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sleep position : The symptoms may be related to your neck & back position during sleep which could be causing some compression of a neck nerve. If the symptoms always resolve when you get up that is less worrisome than if they persist. A pillow that keeps your neck curved @ night may help, plus stretching exercises for the neck. Physical therapy can also help. If symptoms worsen definitely call Dr
