Is it bad to sleep without using a pillow?!


Question:

Is it bad to sleep without using a pillow?

I've been sleeping without a pillow since 3-4 years. I also heard that sleeping without a pillow is good for your back (avoids hunchback). So, is it good to use a pillow or not?

What are the benefits?


Answers:

A pillow is used to support your neck while you sleep. It's basically used for alligning your spine. Just as you should sleep with a pillow between your legs to stop your spine from curving at the bottom, you should sleep with a pillow under your neck to stop curving at the top. If the neck slouches below your spine, it causes deformation at the top of the spinal column.
