When you're meditating, how do you hold your head? Any specific advice about that?

Huh. No real thoughts, other than: Don't rest it on things if you don't want to fall asleep!
Generally I've never noticed many posture issues around the head. The way that feels most natural to me — mostly upright with the chin tucked slightly in — seems to be optimal.

Make sure not to let it (your chin especially) jut out, or you'll get a tired neck and shoulders...

I just let it be, not move around too much, my chin down a little bit, eyes closed. I sit very still.
