I wake up every morning with pain in my neck and shoulders. I notice that I have my shoulder and neck muscles engaged the entire time I'm asleep. The times I do notice I'm doing it, I try to let my shoulders down and relax them but when I wake up I am back to shoulder shrugging. I don't know how to prevent it.

Hi,

Has this been going on constantly or just recently. Also, are you under a lot of stress recently?

I have had this issue for about 2 years. I am not under any kind of stress. In fact this is the first time in my life that I should be really relaxed.
