The proper way to sleep as taught by the ancient people of central plain is supporting your the gap between your shoulder back and the back of your head.

Just get a neck pillow and sleep without any pillow that elevates your head. Another gap in your body is the lower back and make sure ur lower back is straight and falls onto the mattress fully.

You will get almost immediate result on first night, and it gets better with each subsequent night.

The reason why modern people tend to snore and wake up with many pains in back, neck, and deformed facial structure （adenoid， double chin）is due to prolonged and chronic elevated head causing the neck pipe to squeeze.

冘, indicating the wooden shackles around the neck. Pillow, seal writing = (wood) + (冘, that is, "square", wooden shackles around the neck), the original meaning of the character: the wooden brick between the back of the head and the back of the neck when the ancients slept.

Works too, just get ant neck pillow and try, even when hugging bolster also ok.

If u side sleep there is also gap between ur head and the left or right shoulder, and without proper support your neck muscle will not be able to rest, which is why a lot of side sleepers do not have defined chin and jaw.
