I always sleep without a pillow, then i wonder which one is better, without a pillow or with a pillow. I make some research about this topic. This is the information that I've got.
Benefits of using a pillow. There are some article said it is better to sleep using a pillow because it helps support your head by propping up your head,you neck and even your shoulder. this is to make sure all the important parts of your body especially your neck and your spine, are in alignment. it also relieving pressure and helps you sleep better.
Besides that it also provide the comfort that you need during your sleep.
While i also found out about benefits of sleeping without a pillow which it can prevent
wrinkles. individual who do not use pillows when sleeping have lower chances of developing winkles and other unappealing facial features.
Besides that it also benefits the spine, give more quality sleep and prevents neck pain.
so why don't you guys give your opinion which one is better, with or without a pillow ?

I have slept with a pillow and without. I really do not see much difference. A pillow is the norm usually, but if I don't have one, it is not necessary. Unless I experience pain or discomfort, I will go back and forth in my decision to use a pillow based on convenience. I prefer satin pillowcases when I do use a pillow, but that is a matter of fashion and function.

I can't sleep without a pillow. I don't like a thick and hard pillow also, it makes my neck tired. You know, even i sleep alone but i always have 3 pillows around me...i love to have many pillows around my bed, then i can get anyone when i lie at any direction.

It all depends on how I'm feeling when I go to sleep.
Sorry if I avoid your question, but I'm going to answer on preference. If I am really tired then I may use the pillow very often through the night because it is comforting and my head can get a lot more rest. If I am kind of tired, I might just use my hand.
If its a crazy party and I passout, more than I likely I will be sleeping on my hand or like on a table or something so it would be without a pillow.

I have never heard that sleeping without a pillow can give you better or clearer appearance though. That is new to me. By the way, what I've heard is that sleeping with pillow can also boost your blood circulation. This ensure that blood will be able to reach your brain and other body parts. While sleeping without a pillow can give you pain on your neck and the feeling of tiredness. I guess this has to do with not having your bones aligned. So I would think it's better to sleep with a pillow

I always sleep with pillows because my head and my arms are longing for it. It brings comfort and satisfaction which makes me fall to sleep easier. I tried without pillow and I found it uncomfortable and harder to sleep. That's why for me, it is better to sleep with pillow. Good day!

I also found couple of articles about benefits of using pillow written by some guys like you and me. I don't have any medical confirmation about this but I use two pillow for two reasons. First, it brings comfort and second useful weapon to fight with both of my sisters. So pillows are definitely can be used as a 'sissy dominating' weapon.
