      Wait are you being for real? That can’t be good for your neck. I’ve fallen asleep like that 1 time when i got way too high on the zaza and i had the worst neck pain ever.

        Haven’t used a pillow in five years. Your spine is meant to be straight at night, so no pillow is the way to go. It is also helpful if you have breathing issues.

          I take it you sleep on your back or stomach then? I think for people like me who sleep on their side, my neck hurts just from the idea of not using a pillow.

          That’s wild man. I sleep on my belly with one leg hiked up to my chest and a pillow that’s big enough for my head and for me to hug and wrap around. Sure it’s also bad for you but man do i get some insane sleep and dreams from it

          Try that when you’re old. Side sleeping leads to extreme neck pain /stiffness the next day because your neck isn’t straight when sleeping without a pillow.

        I find sleeping on my recliner actually feels the best because my head is kept aligned with my spine better. I’ve read that in the old days (like 1700s and such) they slept sitting almost upright.

      I sleep on my back without a pillow.

      But I still have a pillow so I can look at my phone.
