I've recently been having moderate pain and tightness along the right side of my neck going down my shoulder, and after reading some posts on here, realized my sleeping posture could certainly be contributing to it. From what I understand, sleeping face up, with your neck straight, is the best way to not aggravate the neck and thus allow it heal from the subtle neck injuries us with concussions tend to have. The problem is that whenever I try this, I simply cannot fall asleep. My habitual sleeping position is probably the worst one of all; on my stomach with my face slanted to one side or another. My neck is almost certainly suffering as a result of this.

So basically my question is to those who have either corrected their sleeping posture, or know how to, what I should do to try to get myself to be able to fall asleep in the correct position? Usually I will lay face up trying to fall asleep for 30 minutes to an hour before becoming frustrated to the point that I give in and go back to my normal posture. So any tips to help me out?
