Brief Answer:
Due to nerve compression.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

In my opinion you are suffering from spondylosis.
Spondylosis are causing nerve compression, that's why you feel cramp.
You should go for x-ray cervical spine, till than you can take methylcobalamine do hot fomentation of neck and avoid pillow.

I hope this answers your query.
