Yes, pillows
I must have 12 pillows on my bed from med - feather

2 doc's have told me to lay flat on a TEMPURPEDIC pillow so the neck nerves do not tighten
And NEVER lay on the sides of the compression

My issues is when in pain my muscles tighten
My hands wake up in fists so I have learned to listen to hypnotherapy tapes, slather herbal rub, relax before sleeping and focus on hands calm and open (sometimes I put them inside my pjs on my tummy as not to tighten).

NO TV WHICH BENDS THE NECK
