Did you start taking any new medicines around the time you started having this pain?  I noticed something similar pain (but mostly around my ribs) only when waking up.  It seems to be related to a recent Percocet prescription (of all things).  The less Percocet I take, the less of this type of pain I have when I wake up.

It has to be your mattress.  Probably not enough support.  Also, don't use too many pillows, that's bad for your neck.

The other thing is you might be having spasms when you relax, as in trying to fall asleep.
