If you sleep on your back, why do you use a pillow?

It's much healthier for your back to sleep without a pillow. If you're lying on your side, you should use a pillow to keep your neck straight. If you're lying on your stomach... well, that's just plain bad. Really bad.

Actually, I've been sleeping on my back without a pillow for years now. I feel very uncomfortable trying to sleep with a pillow now. People are simply conditioned, for one reason or another, to sleep like that with pillows from any early age. Pillowless is the "natural" state, and also a lot better for your back.

are you a chiropractor or just playing one on ATOT 😛
 
Actually I like to sleep on my arm, and the pillow adds some cushioning and distrbutes the weight better. Also keeps my arm from going numb. I can sleep without a pillow without too much trouble, but I prefer not to.

LMAO

I get headaches if I sleep on my back, from the pillow. I try to sleep on my side, so I need one.

why? I always sleep with my stomach down and I never had a problem. I could never sleep on my back. I've tried but I just cant. Its either on my stomach or on my side.
