Is there a better head position for sleeping (and clearing out junk)?

4. Love the long "leg pillow"

I can't sleep without that--lines everything up.

I think head position is vital for side-sleepers. What makes sense to me is to position your head properly above your spine so that you are in a normal position in terms of head, neck, and back. If you open your eyes and gaze ahead, your gaze should be parallel to the headboard or whatever your bed is lined up with (unless it's in a corner!). A string extended from the tip of your nose would be parallel to that headboard. Looking down, letting your chin come off the pillow and hang there, is hard on the neck.
