Is it weird to take your own pillow to a hotel?

Yes it's weird. If you "can't sleep" because you don't have your perfect little comfort luxury, you're overtly weak and dependent on things. Learn to accept and enjoy some discomfort.

Remember that if you can't live without a thing, that thing owns you, not the other way around.

I don't think it's weird because I use pillows to help my back, and the ones I have are usually better for me than others.

You're an inspiration to dialysis patients, people on oxgyen/breathing machines, and ICU patients everywhere.

It depends on the circumstances. I have taken my own pillow to a hotel, but I was spending months travelling around third world countries. Often camping. So buying my own pillow and taking it with me was a point of comfort. It was a little thing. A non-expensive thing. That made a significance difference.

I think those people realize that they are dependent on those external things and would prefer to get rid of them if they could. My criticism is mostly aimed at those that become dependent on things for no valid reason and enslave themselves in the process.

Don't be the obese lazy disgusting childless aunt that ends up in the hospital for another "unexpected" cardiac event and that throw a fit to her family because she "can't sleep without my pillow" and need people to go get it for her.
I don't think people realize how much they are diminished by having all those things owning bits of them, how much they are enslaved by their unnecessary needs. From drugs like caffeine or pain killers to comfort like hot showers or pillow to luxuries like palatable foods or video entertainment. Every time something happens in life (and it will happen) like an hospitalization, a blackout, economic issues, those people end up in withdrawal from so many things that they can't stand up by themselves now that all those part of themselves owned by things were taken away. This is a disorder and pathetic to see.

I don't usually, but hotel pillows can be anywhere between "mostly deflated beach ball" and "overfilled Mylar balloon" so I completely understand why you would, the only thing worse than jetlag is jetlag with a wicked crick in your neck the next morning.

Not weird and understandable as hotel pillows can sometimes be unclean and smelly.
