Another factor I have not seen mentioned is that breathing in through the mouth can cause muscles in the neck to tighten up. Years ago I had a massage therapist who noticed that my neck was always extremely tight, and she mentioned that I should try to consciously breathe in through my nose as much as possible. I did do this, and then gradually started doing it subconsciously, as well. On my next appointment a month later, she was amazed at how much looser my neck muscles were. She was mostly amazed and flattered that somebody had taken her advice on something.
