People with long hair - how do you sleep at night?
Replies

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.0

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!0 -

When mine was Crystal Gail length, I kept it in a bun most nights. Never really bothered me though.0

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!0

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!0 -
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.0

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.0

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.)0

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.0

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!!!!0

Super high pony tail0

braid...night or day...just a matter of getting used to it...sometimes in a pony tail...:)0

Loose ponytail at the top of my head...saves my curls, doesn't tangle, and I don't end up sleeping on it.0

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!0
-
I sleep quite well, thank you.0

I don't see how yall can manage to sleep with your hair tied in a bun or pony tail. xD it is so uncomfortable! LOL
This! I could never wear my hair up when I sleep. Right when I lay my head down, I kind of twist it up and over my pillow. My husband has NEVER rolled on my hair. We have a king size bed and pretty much stay to our own sides when we are sleeping.0
