Hare Krishna Doctor Prabhu, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Thank You for Your help to us!
I did some research on Internet if one should sleep with pillow or not.
Srila Prabhupada once told that there is no need for pillows but one can use hands...
But still i wanted to know for what reason we use pillow? And what is better in health point of view?
Thank You again!

Thank you for the query.. .
Using or not using pillow is More a personel choice, than to find any logic behind it..
Few scientific faith I will like to put..
Why we should use pillow??
1-first and foremost comfort..
2-it prevent straining of neck muscle..
3-it reduces the lag time to sleep, I.e as soon as you go to bed, you fell asleep..
Why we shouldn't use pillow??
1-first and foremost comfort??
2-without pillow, our spine remains straight, so, it is easy to mantain an erect posture, while sitting also.
3-those people who are having back pain problem, are adviced not to use pillow..
4-it increases the lag time to sleep but decreases our waking up time from sleep, which is good..
Now, choice is ours.. in my opinion, if we don't have any medical problem, we can use a pillow,
Or as a replacement for it, we can use our hand, or rolled towels,.
Etc..
Thank you..
my humble obeisances Prabhu,
You are so kind! Knowledge for me is priceless! And You are a person who is giving such like thing out of Your selfless desire to help others to become free from sufferings or at least tolerate them!
I did not knew that it is good for a nice wake up in the morning! :D I will share it with my friends.
So it would be easier to wake up for Mangala Arati.
Thank You again!
