 there is no "normal height" while sleeping. This is very individualized. However, since you mention having difficulty breathing while flat in bed I would suggest trying your head at a 45 degree angle. You will know what you need to sleep without difficulty breathing,now it is just a matter of you finding the correct height without having neck pains. If the neck pain is serious enough to prevent you from sleeping you might check into an adjustable bed. I am more curious however to know your age,weight and any underlying medical to figure out the cause of your difficulty breathing at night. good luck to you!
