A member asked:
Can sleeping on forehead against arm cause enough pressure to damage skull?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That does not happen. Any comfortable head position should be fine to sleep in. Some people need special pillows or more unique positions, due to having stomach reflux at night or having sleep apnea problems.
