RE: How many pillows do you sleep with, how do you use them & which can't you do without?

One regular pillow.
I sleep on my belly, head at the side edge of the pillow , and a hand under the shoulder on that same side to keep the neck from twisting 180º. With this, that elbow is the only place in my body that is in any stress, passive stress.
I've tried belly up: lots of stress around the neck just to keep the head from falling over to one side. That's what I call active stress. Can't fall asleep like that.
On my side: I must have too broad shoulders, and find it difficult to stay on my side... I either fall over on my belly, or my back... Need to prop up, somehow, adding active stress that prevents me from sleeping.
