Slight Head Elevation During Sleep
Keep the head modestly elevated during sleep, usually with one or more pillows or a gentle incline rather than lying flat. The goal is to support drainage and reduce morning puffiness, and in some cases to lessen pressure-related issues such as glaucoma—so long as the setup does not meaningfully disrupt sleep quality.

“Maybe instead of sleeping flat or having your head falling back, you have your head slightly tilted up. Usually a pillow will accomplish that... Sleeping with your head a little bit elevated will also assist there.”
