80% of all those that experience heartburn, experience it at night. Constantly staying awake is no easy feat, besides it can have serious effects on your health and well being in the long term. Not to mention possible silly mistakes which could implicate other lives (falling asleep behind the wheel). But trying to sleep when you're burning up inside and in agony is by no means an easy acomplishment, even for the heaviest of sleepers.
So what are the options? Ignoring your heartburn will only make your heartburn worse as in the short term stomach acid repetitively attacks the esophegeal lining and in for the long term you could be at risk of a deadly esophageal cancer. Pills and over the counter or prescription medication can only be used short term, and they come with plenty of unwanted side effects like diarrhea, constipation and nausea. In May 2010 the FDA revised its label on such medication due to a strong link between bone fractures. There's natural medication you could take such as those available at heartburnstore.com, you could try cutting out all those late night drinking / binge food eating, doing exercise too quickly after eating or whatever is the cause of your heartburn.

But wouldn't you rather have an on / off switch, at the very least when trying to sleep, you see, during the day the body has its own defense mechanisim in place, gravity and swallowing. But that becomes void when lying down. Luckily there's is a solution, or in particular a technique which can still enable the body's defense mechanisim to work when sleeping. It's called positional therapy, now I wouldn't be at all surprised if you've heard about or read about the idea that propping a few books under your bed can help your heartburn. Whilst the theory may be sound, the head's higher up then the rest of the body thus allowing gravity to do its job and make sure the food goes down, and that stomach contents are less likely to come up (reflux). The likelihood is that you'll be falling out of bed, to the end of the bed, and that's not to say the angle is the most effective to heal your heartburn (the more severe your heartburn) the steeper the angle is needed. Which would only exagerate such effects further, and yes it might help to ease the heartburn, but let's face it, it's not exactly comfortable. And what would your partner think, who doesn't have the heartburn but also has to endure such shinanagins, I guess the reaction won't be positive. Sleeping on several pilows in an attempt to solve this problem individually will only give you neck or back pain.
There is of course a product designed specifically to maximize this positional therapy technique. Other competitors, notably those large pillow manufacturers, provide wedge pillows "or rather angled pillows" to keep the top part of the body above the lower part to let gravity do its job. Comfort lift pillows go further, the job of gravity is combined with medical research and total comfort, to make them one of the most comfortable and effective wedge pillows out there, if not the most. Only using the best and most comfortable materials like Nasa's developed memory foam and flame retardant "egg crate" foam that supports the spine down to the waist making sure that not only night time heartburn doesn't happen but also that you don't wake up with head cramp, or other side effects that the standard wedge pillow provides. Furthermore why limit yourself to one sleeping position? Comfort lift pillows enable multiple sleeping positions and their "wing like feature" keeps you from rolling off your pillow.
Comfort lift pillow supreme is also adjustable so that you can raise the angle of your pillow to combat more severe night heartburn attack and reduce the angle when your heartburn is more moderate. Which come to think of it, is like having two or even three wedge pillows of the highest quality standard.
A truly effective solution to combatting night time heartburn no matter how severe, naturally so that you can enjoy the food you love without worrying about the effect of eating it, in total comfort.
