Use pillows which are appropriate If it's too thin, your head will tilt backwards, which is uncomfortable. Likewise, don't stack your pillows so that your head is propped at an angle. Keep your body in a "mid-line" position, where both your head and neck are kept roughly straight. This should help you sleep. Avoid sleeping on your stomach position, and it is more likely to cause aches and pains. If you wish to sleep on your stomach, put your pillow under your hips instead of under your head.
