WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOUR BODY IF YOU START SLEEPING WITHOUT A PILLOW?

The earliest known pillows date back to ancient Mesopotamia. They were made of
stone, and only wealthy people could get hold of them.

Unlike those antique pillows, the ones we use today are soft and fluffy, and
many people can not sleep without hugging a big, cozy pillow. But in reality,
sleeping with a pillow may not be the best way to rest, as it can negatively
affect your body and mood.

1. It can prevent back pain

Many pillows can lead to an unnatural sleeping position and the support they
provide does not last long. While the pillow itself will not hurt your back, it
can make several underlying symptoms worse. Conversely, when you sleep without a
pillow, your spine can rest and your body stays in its natural position.

2. It can help you deal with neck pain

Most pillows do not allow you to sleep in the right position, and can even make
sleeping postures worse. Bending your neck in any way for a long time will cause
some discomfort, and a pillow that is too firm or too soft can lead to neck
pain.

3. It can help you fight headaches

If you wake up with a headache or feel dizzy, it could be from your pillow.
Pillows that are too thick cause your head and neck to round forward, and they
add extra tension to the neck muscles. It can give you a headache in the morning
after you get out of bed.

4. It can relieve stress

If your pillow makes you uncomfortable at night, you might end up rolling over
in your sleep. The more trouble you sleep with, the less time your body has for
the many important functions that occur during the night. Not getting enough
sleep on a regular basis can affect your mood and thinking skills, and will
cause your body to release more stress hormones during the day.

5. It prevents facial acne

Your skin will thank you for getting rid of your pillow. Your face is normally
resting on your pillow most of the time at night. But you probably do not wash
your pillowcase every day, and it collects dirt, grease and house dust. All of
this can lead to premature rashes, inflammation, and wrinkles.

6. It can be good for your hair

If you wake up in the morning with dry, tangled hair, you might want to forgo
your pillow for the sake of your locks. When you turn around at night, your hair
rubs against your pillowcase, causing it to break. Pillowcases can also absorb
the natural oils in your hair, making it dry and brittle.
