    I always just tossed my hair back over the pillow. It was so long it stayed out of my way. I'm using past tense because I cut it off - donated 13" to charity. Currently growing it back out.

    Oooh, atop the head is a good idea. As is the bun. And anything that might save my waves for a second day is a-okay with me.

    Yup, I do this, too (minus the clip). Just a messy bun - and I even do it while it is a bit wet since I shower in the evenings after going to the gym. In the morning, I get some nice soft waves that I jazz up with some hairspray, and wah-lah! Good to go! :)

    When mine was Crystal Gail length, I kept it in a bun most nights. Never really bothered me though.

    Since I'm a runner, and had hair halfway down my back, I chopped it off. Think Natalie Maines current 'do. =) Good luck. I miss it sometimes but now it's wash and go, I LOVE it!

    I've never done anything with mine. I leave it loose and sleep just fine.
    If I ever do fall asleep with a ponytail or bun in, that's when I wake up in pain!

    I put it in a half pony tail (loose pony tail then folded in half). I've since cut it to shoulder length and it doesn't bother me anymore at night.

    I put my hair right on top of my head in a messy loose bun, when I wake up its a mess and have to fix it but thats ok. I have super long hair and want to chop it off too. But while I sleep it doesnt hurt my head when its on top of my skull. ;) Hope that helps.

    Back when I had long hair, I used to put it in two braids or buns kinda behind my ears/back of my head. That way I could lie flat on my back and have my head/neck rest comfortably on the pillow. I liked it too because I was trying to avoid sleeping on my side and when I'd roll during the night, the hair was a reminder to return to the flat-on-my-back position. :) (I've since cut it all off and I kinda miss it.)

    If I attempt to restrain my hair while I sleep, I will end up with a knotted mess. Sleeping with long hair has never been a problem for me.

    I never realized that this would be a problem for women with long hair! My eyes have been opened to your horrible difficulties. I now am going to grow my hair long so my wife can pull it during sexy time and I can see how difficult it actually is to sleep without choking myself to death. Thanks OP!!!!

    Loose ponytail at the top of my head...saves my curls, doesn't tangle, and I don't end up sleeping on it.

    Loose bun on top of my head. But make sure that it's not tight or else you will have a sore head in the morning. I can't stand my hair in my face while I'm sleeping. Drives me nuts!
