Get relief for your spine: If your spine is already hurting, try sleeping without a pillow for a few days. Experts say that using a pillow increases the tension in your neck and spine. Due to this, neck problems often start. Therefore, not using a pillow can be a good option.

Skin benefits: Continuous use of a pillow can cause wrinkles on the skin. Because the pillow puts pressure on the face. People who do not use a pillow do not have this problem. Not using a pillow also reduces the problem of pimples. Because pillow covers are not always washed, the dust particles in them cause pimples on the face.

Neck pain will be reduced: When we use a pillow, the position of our spine changes. In this way, the problem of back pain starts to arise constantly. Also, sleeping without using a pillow keeps the neck in the right direction and this also reduces the risk of back pain.

Gets good sleep: Sleeping with a pillow under the head often makes some people tired. This means that you are not getting good and adequate sleep. When a person sleeps without using a pillow, he can get good sleep. Also, some other problems are eliminated. You definitely feel fresh after a full sleep.

Mental health: If the pillow is not right, you may have the problem of disturbed sleep. If you do not use a pillow, you may get good sleep. Which removes all your fatigue. Stress reduces. Of course, if you do not have stress and fatigue, your mental health is good.
