Pillow or No Pillow? Experts Reveal Spine Health Secrets for Better Sleep

• Sleeping without a pillow benefits stomach sleepers by aligning the spine and reducing neck/back pain, as reported by Healthline and Hindustan Times.
• Side and back sleepers risk neck pain, spinal misalignment, headaches, and snoring without proper pillow support, potentially leading to long-term spinal problems.
• Orthopedic doctor Prakash B L and Rochester University Medical Center emphasize that the impact varies significantly based on individual sleep position.
• Benefits for some include improved posture, better blood circulation, reduced headaches, and healthier skin/hair, but risks are high for others.
• Consult a doctor if you have existing neck pain or doubts; ergonomic or latex pillows are often recommended for proper neck support.
