Your sleep position might also be contributing to your constant head throbbing. Next time you wake up with a horrible headache, instead of blaming your pillow for it, you’d better search for the real culprit: you.
“If you sleep with your head in a flexed position—sometimes caused by sleeping with too many pillows—you may experience postural headaches,” warns Dr. Bierman.

This type of irritation not only causes headaches but also aggressive migraines which are harder to get rid of.
