What's This Feeling?

So when I lie down completely straight and don't move at all, my head feels as if it's either light-headed or a little "stone heavy." I end up moving because I feel like it's bad for my health or something like that. My question is, is it? Should I be lying down straight in some sort of specific way?

Doesn't matter how you lay, your head will sometimes feel heavy, or light.It depends on how your neck is supported. Your head is quite heavy, you know? The neck muscles need to be strong to hold it up! That is why the very old (like me!) often walk with the head lowered. It's heavy!
In Japan, at least when I was there,the pillow was to support the neck, not the head.

Plus during allergy season I get light headed or feel like my head is ten pounds heavier with swollen sinuses.

Phew! Thanks for clearing that up. I thought I was on the verge of dying or something like that, haha. Now I can attempt to AP with no worries.
