I figured I would ask since I tend to do that a lot (no hands involved) without thinking since I spend a lot of time on the computer and I didn't know if it was harmful for my body. (Btw, I do neck exercises too for the record.)

Well,.. I found out last night that it wasn't good to crack my head too much or too hard since I wound up getting a really bad headache and throwing up as an end result. 
I just decided to take more breaks from the computer. Especially when I'm starting to feel really stiff. :)

If your looking for any more neck stretches this is one of the best videos on youtube. Ive been doing this for a few years
I think you would benefit from seeing a chiropractor who uses a pro-adjuster and activator. (Less invasive than a manual adjustment.)Well,..

Yes, I saw that. :) That's why I asked if you have any other symptoms besides those.
Other than the fact I kept sneezing out my marbles so now I don't have any anymore? Nope!
(I am living proof that God has a sense of humor. He didn't provide me an extra set of marbles or an instruction manual so sorry but I can't even tell you how I work. Only He knows. )LoL!Other than the fact I kept sneezing out my marbles so now I don't have any anymore? Nope!
Marbels ya say? That 'splains a lot.
My marbles are pastel.;)
Maybe give this a look and see if anything rings familiar to how you feel when cracking your neck.

Posture. Pay attention to how you how you sit and view the screen. It's better to roll your head in circles; I have a defect of the spine which is the source of the pain I live with every day. Amazing what that does for me... the vertebrae of my spinal column shift and crack like a chorus of knuckles! Relieves some pain even if only for a little while.
Muscle spams are source of the stiffness and pain you're experiencing, @April_Rose . These arise from extended periods of poor posture. You can address this by setting an alarm on your phone or computing device --- set it to go off every 30 minutes or so --- which is your cue to get up and indulge in stretching exercises.

hmmmm, probably not as bad as cracking you head.

Yes. Cracking your neck is bad. However, the occasional, unforced cracking is not bad. When you repeatedly crack your neck you will cause pressure to build up around your joints. This pressure build up may cause one of two things: it will cause unwanted cartilage build up or a blood clot.
I don't know if it is bad to crack your neck. However, if you think it's bad to crack your neck and you crack it anyway, that would be bad. Lol
I also think that crack would be bad for your neck. :)
I know, I'm bad! I'm a bad boy! Think I'll go boogie on my Strat!

More than one, but not a thousand...yet! I need to be careful, or else I'll be singing, "Oh where is the toilet paper!" Lol
