Be my guest, as if I have anything to say about it anyway. I've had the stiff neck thing now and then and it's a serious drag. Once, I would go into spasms when I'd lift my head off the pillow. I think it was cause I had been carrying a sorta heavy back pack with only one strap over the shoulder.

I also cut way back on the weight in my carpentry bags. Lotta pull on the (on hell, what are those tendons tween the neck and shoulder?)

Also, I've been having a pain in my left shoulder upon awakening. I think I might have a habitual posture during sleep that compresses it or something. Don't know how to change that outside of being strapped down.
