Should I use a massage gun on my neck?

Yes, but carefully. Use the lowest speed setting, avoid the front and sides of the neck (where arteries and nerves are), and focus on the trapezius and muscles along the back of the neck. Never use on the throat area.

What is the best sleeping position for neck pain?

Back sleeping with a supportive pillow that maintains natural cervical curve is generally best. Side sleeping with proper pillow height is also good. Avoid stomach sleeping, which forces neck rotation.
