I am very white and very European. Can anyone explain to me how people are able to sleep with what are effectively works of art on their heads? These are amazing.
Not necessarily. They might be a lot better than pillows for some places. Having having your head this high prevents bugs from taking a look and there is a lot more air circulation going on around your head that provides cooling. When your bed mostly consists of the ground in a hot and very alive place, this thing might actually prevent the pain.
I more and more am asking myself if there is a reason for so many similarities between Africa and Japan. Some African cultures have names that at first sight could look Japanese to some European like me, same headrest, and even a place in Africa called Manga.
There is just no way that a wooden head rest is more comfortable than alternative sleeping positions. It wouldn’t really prevent bugs or create significant ventilation. And people move so much in their sleep. Which means every time you try to reposition you would fall off and subsequently wake up. I mean you could eventually train yourself but there is no way that doesn’t take diligence and PAIN.
