The goal when you're asleep is to stay comfortable and not wake up in the middle of the night. So long as you aren't in pain and you don't get up while you're sleeping, it's fine.

QuestionMy pillow is pretty thick and I sleep with only my head on it. This sometimes causes pain at the base of my neck. How can I change my sleeping posture? Will this affect my posture as a whole?Jurdy Dugdale is a Registered Nurse in Florida. She received her Nursing License from the Florida Board of Nursing in 1989.You need to sleep with a thinner pillow under your neck.
