Why does my back crack when I turn over in bed?
You need to be examined to be sure, but it sounds like some of your joints are hypermobile (moving too much). This means other joints are probably stuck. Go to a good chiropractor.

How often should you go to the chiropractor for a stiff back?
Once the chiropractor gets rid of your pain, I think once a month is usually good enough to keep you feeling great! Obviously, it differs from person to person.

This is a controversial topic. There is an infinitesimal small chance of anything bad occurring from getting your neck adjusted. There is a far greater risk of taking just about any over-the-counter medication and I'm not implying the over-counter medication isn't safe. It is very safe if it's being done by a licensed chiropractor. You can find more info about this from the American Chiropractic Association website:

How do I sleep with a herniated disc in my neck?
Herniated discs in the neck will usually hurt either more if your neck is bent forwards or backwards. If it hurts more when it's forward, you want to use a less thick pillow or READ MORE
Herniated discs in the neck will usually hurt either more if your neck is bent forwards or backwards. If it hurts more when it's forward, you want to use a less thick pillow or just a rolled up towel under your neck. If it hurts more when you tilt your head back, then you probably will like a little thicker pillow with more support. You should find someone who does non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. It's the best treatment out there to help herniated and bulging discs. You can use this website to find a good quality doctor who specializes in spinal decompression therapy:

It isn't dangerous, but it's not good for you. If you are able to "crack" your own neck or back, you are almost for sure cracking the wrong joint making the actual stuck joint more stuck and more stuck (which is a likely cause of your initial discomfort). You are also making the loose joint more and more hyper-mobile. Your body doesn't like that. It will feel instability and lay down more bone. That's one of the ways you get early arthritis.
