    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.
