How you sleep plays a huge part in the development of back pain. You should be sleeping on our side or back. The biggest contributor to back pain is when you sleep on your stomach. Think about it, the back is not in proper alignment when you are on your stomach - the lower lumbar area is pushed upward instead being allowed to me in it's normal S shape. Also the head is turned putting stress on the musculature of the upper back and neck - the muscles are not in a relaxed position.
Get a body pillow and learn to sleep on your side. You may be amazed at how much this helps!
