Many people believe that sleeping without a pillow is useful, as it improves the quality of sleep and affects the health of the spine. However, in reality, everything may not be so simple.

According to experts, if a person sleeps without a pillow, he gets less sleep, which leads to fatigue during the day. In addition, sleeping on a flat surface disrupts the blood circulation of the brain, as a result of which it does not receive the necessary amount of oxygen.

Also, the lack of a pillow increases the risk of developing osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, as the load on it is unevenly distributed. As a result, clamps and neck pain may appear. In addition, sleeping without a pillow leads to impaired blood circulation and curvature of the spine, as a person instinctively puts his hand under his head in a dream. If the head is at the same level as the body, the risk of swelling increases. And rubbing your face against a hard mattress can cause wrinkles.

In this regard, experts recommend not to give up the pillow. And they consider orthopedic pillows to be the best option for healthy sleep, thanks to which the neck and head are in the right position.
