Why people cant sleep without pillow?

There are some people that really do need a pillow to be able to sleep properly. Some people have mentioned people with neck problems or people prone to headaches. Also people with back problems may need to have a pillow. People with certain breathing problems generally need at least one (and sometimes more than one) pillow to elevate their head, which allows them to breath better. Otherwise, they tend to cough, choke and sometimes feel like they are suffocating from not getting enough air. If you do not have enough pillows, you could try a light blanket ... roll it up like a pillow and put it in a pillowcase if you have one, but the pillowcase is not really necessary. You can also use small couch or chair cushions if you have them.

I have this problem when I lay on the pillow but when it does not already own but do not know why it is so obviously bothering me.

hi surekharathiI live in the Us and here y doctor tells me to use a pillow under my head to support my neck and shoulders, I trust my doctor and I know I feel dreadful without my pillow, this is not just a whim but medical fact and it has nothing to do with whims. You are not a medical expert and my doctor is. I wish you would nottry to play doctor. I have faith in my doctor and am not changing because someone else in a different country tells-me its bad to use a pillow. respect my countrys culture and customs as I will yours. I take my own pillow if I go anywhere to sleep but here. You go without pillows fine, but I have no diesease either in my neck or shoulders but I just need and will use my pillow as directed by my own doctor.My views are your customs are great for you butnot for me,. okay,

Oh my! Surekha I could never sleep without a pillow and in fact if I want to lay and not have one I have to prop something underneath, even if it is my arms as I need the height in order to lay comfortably. I can't simply lay flat on the bed or on a flat surface without having something propping my head. I wonder if I could breath properly if I was just flat.

A very interesting topic.Yes many people can't sleep without pillow.It is may be because they have used to it since childhood.I think our body has learned to sleep only with pillows as our parents have tugged pillows when we were still babies.But it is advisable to sleep with a comfortable and low pillows than with high and double tugged pillows.When we sleep our blood circulation is slower,so our heart must have enough strenght to pump blood to our brain.So i think lower pillow would be advisable.

Wow! nice question I cant sleep without pillow and in our house lots of pillows are there. I needs 2 pillows. My daughters also need 2 pillows. But you right due to pillow some neck problem is arise.

i also do not have an idea why some people could not sleep without pillow or pillows. i too wants to have rested with a pillow on my head. my wife needs two on her head and one on her feet. my son the youngest wants one pillow and a blanket over it on his head and a long pillow which we call hotdog pillow to embrace it while he sleeps. if we got some visitors, it will not be a problem because we have lots of pillows including some throw pillows.

I prefer to sleep without pillows.It is uncomfortable to sleep with something underneath.As regards with your problem when you ran short of pillows, its a matter of courtesy that guests must learn to adjust in their hosts house and learn to live with whatever they get.Their stay is anyway only for a short period After all guests dont come to sleep. We invite guests as an expression of love and affection

There are some people who don't use pillow on their head.I have a friend who said it causes him stiff neck when he uses one.I can sleep also without using one too.It also promotes good posture lying straight I guess.My wife uses three pillows, one each on both sides and one under her head.I only uses one.

hello sure! well, i think most people find it more comfortable to have pillow most of all in their heads.cause it is hard to sleep without something under your head. i have read or heard long time ago that if we sleep make sure that your shoulders are leveled under your heads. this way, we can sleep in comfortable way with the help of a pillow. i,myself find it hard to sleep without any pillow. it's just that i find comfort with it. and that's we all need when we are sleeping. we need to be comfortable and relaxed for us to get rest. isn't it?

This problem seems common when guests come at home. Even we have experienced it many times. Personally I really can't sleep without pillow. I gets pain in neck when i sleep without it. I don't care about size like many people do that. In fact when there are no guests at home I used to sleep with more than one pillow. In my hand, below my hand....

Well,i also belong to the category of people who can't sleep without pillow.I just got used to it since my childhood. Now,my condition is something like this: "No Pillow,No Sleep"

i definitely need a pillow. i cant sleep without pillows and im having a hard time fall asleep when i dont have any pillows to hug. actually, i have four pillows when sleeping. i feel comfortable and relax. =)

I like to use a pillow and so does my son. He is very particular about which one but I dont particularly mind aslong as it is comfortable. I mean, in shape.

Hi bhabi... I am always adjustable. Although i keep pillow but can sleep without it too. As we go to several places for drama, hence we are habituated to sleep at any circumstances. Have a nice day.

I definitely want to use a pillow too.. I can't imagine how painful to the head of people who aren't using a pillow.. I tried once, and it gives me a headache... I sleep on 2 pillows and hug 2 pillows also :33 A total of 4 pillows when I'm sleeping..

I myself could not sleep without pillow but when my kids still babies I practiced them to sleep without it. There are peoples also sleep without pillow and others are suffering from stiffed neck once pillow is missing. My husband always have stiffed neck before because his pillow is hard when I bought him a cotton pillow he never had stiffed neck then. I can't sleep without my pillow, and I can't sleep using other pillows too.

Of course! Pillow is needed to rest your head. It aids you in the best position for you to be comfortable in order to induce sleep. We have different preferences on pillows but i prefer, only 1 big, pillow on the head. It must be not too soft nor not too hard, placed in the head to make it elevated for a certain degree to make me comfortable.

I never had a pillow before when I was single never used, but now I am married and my husband doesn't sleeps without pillow, we five pilows three for him two fore, and I only use the pillows to wattch TV but when I am going to sleep I don't use the pilows.
