Every person needs sleep. Thanks to rest, the body accumulates energy and restores strength.

There is an opinion that sleeping without a pillow is even more beneficial. Is it really so?

A person needs a pillow so that the head and neck are in the most comfortable position during rest. The muscles relax and blood flow improves.

Although not all pillows can be called high-quality. Some, on the contrary, cause unnecessary tension.

Babies need to sleep only on a flat surface. In infancy, the formation of spinal curves occurs, and therefore the pillow causes harm.

The spine of adults is already formed, so it needs support.

Without a pillow, serious illnesses can develop.

But if there is no quality pillow, it is better to refuse the product altogether. Although you should not believe the myth that if you have back problems, sleeping on a flat surface will help you recover.

Sleeping without a pillow is harmful to the circulatory system, the spine and even a person’s appearance.

When a person sleeps without a pillow, he throws his head back. This position is not natural. Headaches appear, blood circulation is impaired. This can even lead to a stroke.
