The
use
of
a
pillow
is
necessary
in
nearly
all
cases.
When
one
is
sleeping
on
his
back
a
pillow
is
certainly
an
objectionable
feature.
It
tips
the
head
forward
and
is
conducive
to
round
shoulders.
A
pillow
is
of
value
when
sleeping
on
the
side
or
in
the
partial
face-downward
position,
as
indicated
in
the
illustration.
The
accompanying
illustration
shows
a
special
position
that
I
can
recommend
for
securing
restful
sleep
and
for
insuring
deeper
respiration.
In
this
position
you
sleep
with
the
body
tipped
forward
partly
upon
the
chest,
and
on
the
forearm,
with
one
elbow
just
back
of
the
body
and
hand
under
the
waist.
The
knee
of
the
upper
leg
will
be
drawn
up
somewhat.
While
this
is
a
very
comfortable
position
its
chief
advantage
lies
in
the
effect
upon
the
respiration.
It
will
be
noted
that
in
this
position
the
organs
lying
below
the
diaphragm
are
placed
in
a
suspended
position,
so
to
speak.
The
stomach
and
other
organs
by
their
own
weight
pull
downward
from
the
diaphragm,
thus
naturally
allowing
more
space
in
the
lungs,
and
particularly
in
the
lower
part
of
the
lungs.
Through
the
simple
effect
of
gravitation,
therefore,
this
position
allows
one
to
breathe
a
larger
amount
of
air
through
the
entire
night.
One
may
turn
from
one
side
to
the
other
in
order
to
change
the
position,
as
it
will
be
equally
comfortable
on
right
or
left
sides.
In
cases
where
there
is
weakness
of
the
heart
the
left-side
position
can
not
be
recommended
if
discomfort
of
any
sort
is
noticed.
