It is a never-ending arguable debate that whether sleeping with a pillow is better or without it will be beneficial?
Researchers
have come out with many answers and numerous explanations, but even
after going through all the studies and articles, when we share a bed
with someone new (relatives or friends) we do discuss the advantages
and disadvantages of sleeping with a pillow.
Sleeping without a pillow has many health benefits, but there are advantages related to using a pillow too…

Well, leaving all up to you, I would just like to mention a few
differences in the advantages of sleeping with or without a pillow.
Benefits of sleeping with a pillow and ancient logic.
In the ancient times, stone, ceramic or wooden pillows were used in
order to prevent insects from entering ears, nose, and mouth while
sleeping. Later, versions of pillows comprised those of jade, bamboo,
and porcelain. But unlike today, they were not made for comfort. The
ages have suggested that people have always resorted to keeping their
heads on a comparatively raised bar in order to make their sleep more
comfortable.
In the present day, there comes a variety of pillows to suit and benefit you in various ways.
#Pillow Type 1: Thinner Pillows
#Pillow Type 1: Thinner Pillows
This
type of pillow is great for the ones who sleep on their back since it
helps in preventing the head from being too far forwards.
#Pillow Type 2: Firm, Thick Pillows
People
sleeping on the sides should use this type of pillow since these are
specially designed to fill the space between the shoulder and ear.
Such
pillows are good for the sleepers who prefer sleeping on their
stomach. Some stomach sleepers do not place a pillow beneath their head
rather they put it under their stomach which helps to prevent lower
back pain.
#Pillow Type 4: Cervical Pillows
These pillows help in supporting your neck.
However, sleeping without a pillow has its own merits.
#1 Facial Benefits
#1 Facial Benefits
People
argue that sleeping without a pillow can help in reducing the
wrinkles. Other facial benefits are also involved, and the reason can be
attributed to the fact that the facial skin does not get squished
against a pillow.
#2 Spinal Benefits
Sleeping
without a pillow allows the spine to rest by the natural curves of
your body. While sleeping with a thick pillow can also displace your
spine.
#3 Neck Benefits
While
the common treatments for shoulder and neck pain involve stretching
and heating pads, sleeping without a pillow is the best remedy to
prevent pain in shoulder and neck from occurring.
#4 Alignment benefits
It
is believed that sleeping without a pillow helps to straighten and
normalize the bone structure. Also, by sleeping without a pillow, the
problems of humpback can be minimized.
The
choice is yours, whatever you choose, go not only with your comfort
but also with your health benefit. Since both of them have merits of
their own..
