Sleeping with long hair and damaging it?

  Does sleeping on top of my hair damage it? I tend to sleep on the side of my head, and I have a lot of hair growing from the side of my scalp so my head is on top of it as I sleep. Is this damaging to my hair, and should I change my sleeping position to something else? If so, what sleeping position should I change to instead? P.S. I already use a silk pillow

    I have never had any problems and I always sleep with my hair (mid-back length) loose and pushed behind my head, ditto when I turn over. Like you, I sleep on my side. I have an old silk curtain covering my pillow and that is very pleasant. Sweet dreams and be reassured.

    When I sleep i just gather the hair up and lay it next to me when i'm sleeping. No tangles, knots, etc. (Right now the hair is about four inches above waist length.
