Head position optimization

RE: Head position optimization
It is my dream to be able to sleep like a toddler, head down butt up, awaken refreshed and terrorizing the world with the energy possessed by the Energizer Bunny.

I am a back sleeper. Sad

RE: Head position optimization
Wouldn't that be something?

I am working with positioning using a buckwheat pillow right now, since I've benched my AS10 for the time being. Only a few more days until I take my home sleep test, and last night I just made a commitment to noting the position in which I wake up. One is lost to time, three on the back, and only one on the side where I wanted to be, and that was early morning dozing so I don't think I was out all that long.

The buckwheat pillow seems to be worse than the old poly-filled one I was using before because it can be adjusted into just the most perfect supportive and comfortable form with only a small amount of effort, and then I wake up in a completely trash position and wonder how much decent sleep I got.

My general solution to all of life's problems is to be more stubborn than they are, so we will see if I can make this work or if I am forced to change tack after all.
Look, I'm an engineer, not a doctor! Please don't take my opinion as a substitute for medical advice.
