Ever since I moved to Vancouver, I had not owned pillows until recently. I was meaning to get a few things for the house, but I simply neglected the pillows. In my minimalist lifestyle approach, I used to fold a thin cotton towel and used it as a pillow initially. It worked fine for me. And then I bought a couple of pillows as I had guests over the holidays and had to act civilized.
Now that I am an owner of two pillows, I decided to use them. Sadly, I do not like to use pillows anymore. I can sleep perfectly without them. I suspect it is my yoga practice which is causing this. I think there is some change in my spine structure. I am not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing. I looked up online but I did not get any useful information. If any of you know if sleeping without a pillow can affect the spine, brain or whatever, leave me a note. If it is really a bad thing, I will have to figure out a way to like the pillows again.

I sleep without a pillow; mostly on my side and not my back. I have done this for a couple of years; and before that, i used to use folded sheets too. A few lying-down twists as soon as I get up ensure that I am spry and kink-less in a couple of minutes. No harm whatsoever.
Great! I am not the only weird one around.
