oh, me too. i can't sleep without a pillow. or even if i can, i would wake up often because the circulation on my arms would be hindered. i like lots of pillows, too. used to have around 7 or different shapes and sizes. and since my bed was so small, they keep falling off when i am already asleep. lol but at least i feel good with all of them around before i snooze off. hehehe

hey thanks for the BR! well now, i am down to two big pillos and 2 small ones that i use to hug when i sleep. but i am thinking of buying a hotdog pillow--feels good to hug at night. but during the last sale, i thought of buying one but my husband was not with me. i thought of asking him first and sure enough, he did want one. so i figured, well, maybe next sale. maybe next month. so we can each have one. :-)

Well...yes and no. I don't have an actual pillow. I have this giant stuffed tiger that I sleep on. It's really comfortable and I like sleeping with my face or head against his, like extra support. lol.

Yes, I can sleep without a pillow. But it would only be during the times when i'm really really tired and I could just about faint anywhere. When I sleep on my bed though, I sleep with two pillows. One for my head and one would act like some sort of teddy. Yeah, it works like that, i'd hug a smaller pillow till i'd fall asleep. I remember when I was a kid, i'd have a third pillow just to put between my legs, and a fourth and fifth on my right and left side ^0^

hi thanks for the response... me, too, i have a hotdog pillow that i put in between my legs, too... coz it's from a habit that i got since an infant... but i can sleep without it... though, i am often sleeping on 1 side and not flat on my back and i seen a tv show where they say it's better to place a pillow between the legs when you are usually sleeping on side to relieve tension and stress from the spine... do you agree or not?

I have two pillows. One is soft and the other is softer and flatter. Once I go to bed I like to rest my head on the top of the two pillows, of course the softer one is on the top of the other. I will remove any one and hug it during the night. I do have a tower blanket but I seldom use it, as the weather in my place is normally not cold at night.

Hi shiloh! Oh, same here! I love to have many pillows around me that is why my husband is complaining that he seems unwanted anymore. haha.. It has always been like this since I can remember. I just love to have many pillows on my bed but I have already gave up two so that my husband can still fit in the bed. haha..Take care and have a nice day.

I have about seven pillows on my bed. They're not all under my head, I have one on each side of me, one for my legs, and the rest are spread out 2 by 2 for my head.

pillows - lots of pillows
I can't sleep without at least one pillow. In fact, I have more than 10 pillows of different sizes on my bed. I feel more comfortable when I sleep with a pillow to lay my head on. Though I could sleep using one arm as my pillow, I get to wake up a few minutes after I get to sleep because I really do not feel comfortable.

i really can't sleep WITHOUT a pillow. especially when my doctor told me that i should sleep with my head inclined at least 6 inches. i feel dizzy without a pillow. even if i do have and it is not inclining my head, for sure i'll feel dizzy and nauseated. but at work and can't help the sleepiness, my arms or jacket is okay. just for a wink that's okay. but when going to sleep in the breakroom, my bag is fine.

I sleep with pillow. I have difficulty in sleeping because I could not breath well when lying flat on bed. So I raises my head and in side-lying position. It makes me sleep better.

I live with my parents and we occupy two rooms only, one for my parents and one for me and my 4 sisters with my 2 nieces. Each of us used to have one pillow for our head. I can't sleep without pillow either, if only we have many pillows, I would love to have one extra pillow for myself to hug when I sleep.
