The Best Sleeping Position to Prevent Facial Wrinkles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- Dermatologists and chiropractors are telling women to sleep on their back to prevent facial wrinkles. This is a bad idea since most modern humans can’t breathe properly while sleeping on their backs. This is due to slowly shrinking faces and airways over the past 100 years, mainly due to the modern soft Western diet, infant bottle-feeding, and multiple exposures to environmental toxins. In fact, for most people, sleeping on the back may cause more facial wrinkles due to much lower sleep quality.
Shrinking of the facial bones causes wrinkles to be more pronounced as you age or have poor health habits since there’s less structural support to stretch out the skin. Internally, narrowed jaws lead to laxity of upper airway soft tissues, predisposing to more narrowing while sleeping on the back, muscle relaxation during sleep, inflammation, and swelling, or even weight gain.
Medical complications happen if you’re normally a side or stomach sleep and are forced to sleep on your back (due to an injury or surgery), or voluntarily (recommended by doctors). Strategies are provided to be able to sleep on your side more comfortably.

I did train myself to sleep on my back. It did help the wrinkles around the side of my mouth and side of face. So for that alone i will keep doing it. On top of it my teeth grinding has stopped in this position. Never had any sinus problem ever. I wake up just as well rested as before when I slept on my side. I can only speak for myself but i’m perfectly happy with having made the change to sleeping on my back.
Im trying to train myself as well. Could you, please, mind sharing your tips?
@@ghizlane770 I do not really have a particular tip. I think the first few days I just waited till I was very very tired as then I would fall asleep even flat on my back. And then after a couple of days it felt normal to sleep in this position. Humans are creatures of habit i suppose. Now I love sleeping on my back only, it would feel weird if I tried to sleep in any other way 😇
Sleeping at the left side is said to improve metabolism with a silk pillowcase that help prevent wrinkles while sleeping on the back is good position too for breathing properly & avoiding wrinkles, it also depends on the shape & texture of the pillow though. I prefer always clean, fragrant, smooth & soft ones plus a mosquito net to avoid harmful bugs on my sleeping area. Thank ü for d video Doc!
I sleep on my side. When I was younger I slept on my stomach. Thank you!
Very informative. Thanks Doctor .
I sleep on my sides.
Thank you so MUCH!!!! This was all new to me!!! So I appreciated this video from you!!! God bless you!!! ❤🙏👍
Very interesting Dr Steven, will listen to it later as I have to organise myself for work 👋👍
I suffer from fallen arches and i use to in pains often and was unable to attend school until i noticed when i sleep on my back ...my problems were gone ...so i am in agreement with you Doc.👌
Thank you very much. This was great information.
Thanks , great info , however would have been greater if there were more pics on the different positions and pillows
Thank you for your ethical evaluation.
Very good video, thanks. 👍😊
Thank you for the video. It would have been easier to visualise if you included more photos showing positions with proper photos and much visuals.
Well commnets..❤
Always sleep on my stomach for all my 70 years. I never grew wisdom teeth. No wrinkles at all, my women friends keep checking hoping I get them!
Geminis never age at all. I sleep on my back and till now, NO wrinkles at all, and full head of black hair
@@LuckyG999 My mom is a Gemini and so is one of my brother! They do not age either!
Thank you for this great content!
*I sleep on my Side. I have to say, you are a smart doctor. I wished I knew about you 3 1/2 years ago.
I would knew what to do, from the beginning when I had all these health issues and searched for years.
Our bed is raised at the top. Since I have Acid Reflux . I have a medcline pillow .
Thank you for this great content!. Very informative. Thanks Doctor . I sleep on my sides..
Thank you so much doc good information
Great video!
So what's the position is the best? please make it easy to understand.
True , so many confusing he’s talking about …
The one where you sleep and don’t apnea
Your normal sleep position that allows a full rest sleep. The rest is explaining why all of these dermatologist recommendations are wrong bc they are not taking into account the whole body system.
He explained at the beginning that its a fallacy to say theres a position to prevent wrinkles. He said the only wrinkles dermatologists are referring to are lines made by pillows and those bounce back once your up. Wrinkles are caused by many other factors as he listed, and it has more to do with facial structure and lack of sleep so he says go back to sleeping in a position thats comfortable and keeps your throat open not closing as in sleep apnea because then your tired and that helps age you.
thank you for reminding , i have to really make it as a habit now
Thank you for this video
Doc! Thank you so much for taking time and talking about things in detail. Helps a ton! Can't wait for the upcoming vedios. My fav and comfortable position is always on my side
🎉me too
Me too always in my left side
Thank you doctor.
This makes so much sense. I am so glad you didnt say to sleep on the back bec i can not sleep well on my back.
Thanks for your take an intelligent information
Informative, thanks.
You're welcome
I use a humidifier in order to breathe. I like eucalyptus 100% pure essential oil, a few drops into the water of the humidifier, if I don't use the humidifier, I can't breathe well.
I sleep on my side, so I bought a Bliss pillowcase. It helps the facial wrinkles and feels cool.
I also bought a My Pillow and it works well...I've tried many different, expensive ones that didn't work. Also, I got a Rx for Trazodone, 50 mg. Best solid sleep that I've had in years, I'm 70 and haven't slept well for decades. With this combination, I'm a happy camper 😊 Tip: for men and women, take pumpkin seed oil to eliminate all of those trips to pee at night...works Very well for myself and both male and female friends. And, it's good for you!
Thanks for the tips! Any side effects from the sleeping pill? Thanks
This is great.
I’m a heavy set medicated person that’s a side sleeper but I noticed when I was a lot lighter thinner, I would sleep on my back like a baby and would wake up so refreshed. I was also sleeping on the floor with layers of comforters on my back when I was thinner which I heard is great for your body to sleep on a hard surface.But I would only suggest it if you don’t have apnea and your light on your feet.It really feels good to be lighter on my feet in a lot of ways.So I’m working getting off the meds to get back lighter again.
I didn’t know that a kind of pillow could help though. Thank you for what you do!
Dr. Steven, after watching the Why you get up to urinate and this video, I pulled out a contour pillow that I had for several years but didn't like it and tried it. It's been four nights now and the stiff neck, sore shoulders and waking to urinate are gone along with me actually feeling rested now!! Thank you!
Are you sleeping on your back?
@@vsingh-26 Yes.
@@jazzman9103 if you are sleeping on your back, aren’t you doing opposite what the doctor recommended? Didn’t he say to not sleep on your back?
I worked hard to learn to sleep on my back and will continue because it improved so manythings
May I ask what are things it improved for you? 🙏🏼
Wrinkles....its unavoidable!
Thats the life facts😊
Yes I agree with you
I'm a diehard stomach sleeper. I usually start on my side but as I drift off, my body just rolls over on my stomach. I have always wondered why I am so drawn to that position. I sleep quite well despite the fact I turn 70 in ~8 weeks. I know many struggle with sleep as they age. I have an off night maybe every couple months.... but overall I sleep very soundly. I wake up rested and energetic. Now I'm reading research linking poor sleep habits with cognitive decline. Whew. I dodged a bullet on that maybe. I hope to continue to be the good sleeper I am now. Thanks for your excellent videos.
The Prophet Muhammad ☮️said that the most comfortable, natural way was for us to sleep is on our sides, specifically right side, because it aids in digestion. I started back sleeping due to joint replacement. I have gotten more wrinkles and jowls very suddenly, not to mention sinus issues for the first time ever. My orthopedic surgeon laughed and said whatever way you are comfortable, that it is worth more to enjoy a restful sleep than anything! 💤 Sleep well, everyone!!
All Celebrities has face job done..THEY are not NATURAL...they are all FIXED😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@janicejacomeLEFT SIDE NOT RIGHT SIDE
@@janicejacome NOT TRUE! It's absolutely the left side for the reasons you stated.. fact
Thank you for sharing this video very interesting I sleep on my sides that makes me to fall sleep, I don't have wrinkles yet but on my eyebugs only..thank you so much...very informative Godbless 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏻
thanks for sharing 🤓
I sleep on my back, for me it is the most comfortable position.
EXCEELENT INFORMATION AS ALWAYS
I sleep on my side , but have too much wrinkles on my neck and I usually cover it 😊!!!
I wish you coukd show what you are speaking about in pictures, diagrams.. it will be very helpful. I got lost as you kept on talking nonstop without pictures.
Exactly 😅😂🤣
I was waiting for the pictures 😆
I wish you show us these pictures of the best sleeping position . Thank you.
I sleep on double pillows so I more sitting up and not lying flat. I can breathe better upward position and I have minor wrinkles on my face. No sleep wrinkles. thanks for video
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for this informative video Doctor.
Great video!
By the way, I believe that was the model Naomi Campbell not Tyra Banks😊
I used to stomach sleep and now I can't because of neck pain, I wish I can go back. I had much better sleep in those days!
Thank you sir
I had to learn to sleep on my back after having a hip replacement and it hurt too much to sleep on either side. I am finally after 6 months able to sleep on my back.
Did it improve your face in any way? Less droopy wrinkly look?
To manage Pain is more important than Wrinkles.
I use to enjoy sleeping on my stomach and sides until the wrinkle story.I was scared of sleeping on my back because I thought that was when I experienced Sleep Paralysis the most.
Please explain with pictures or diagrams
I prefer to sleep on my sides even though I do try so hard to sleep on my back with all the anti-ageing 'gurus' advising us to do that. It is just too hard. Comfort is more important for me, sleeping on my side makes me feel secure and fall asleep faster. It is not because I have dental work done before, no braces and not entire straight teeth too, it is just me. I have very big square jaw when younger but now it has shrunk due to ageing on top of having a few molars removed contributing to bone loss.
I sleep on my back elevated. I have BPPV and laying on either side brings on an episode of spinning vertigo.
BTW I can't find any links to the special makeshift pillow (for back-sleep position) you mentioned towards the end of your video.
Pls give me an example of a good pisition. Thank you and mire power.
Thanks
I sleep left side down. (sleep apnea, narcolepsy, 5X cancer, nasal polyps). I have tried to sleep on my back and just can't do it. When I was younger, I slept on my stomach. It is hard to sleep that way with a CPAP mask on.
I love sleeping on my side. But I started getting more wrinkles on that side
Thank you
Ijin shareThank you GBU FAMILY
I start out on my back when I'm winding down visualizing and doing breathing exercises. Then I go on my right side and fall right to sleep. Then it's left side back to right side throughout the night.
I always go to sleep on my front and I love it but I usually wake up on my back with my arms above my head which is how I slept as a child. The right pillows are essential. I think perhaps that the nutrients that are missing from our soil or even not enough vit D at vital growth times may be causing our jaws to be more narrow. Many people are constantly in flight or fight mode nowadays. Thank you.
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
From Fruita, CO... My stomach, since I was a newborn. Can't sleep in any other position.
Hi Dr. Park, can you suggest a pillow that's made of safe materials that doesn't off-gas that has the contour for your neck for a back or side sleeper? I used to use Tempur-Pedic neck contoured pillows until I learned more about the unhealthy chemicals they may give off. I appreciate your videos and look forward to your suggestions in kind. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I’m enjoying my tempura sleep contour pillow. I have reversed neck -7•
I also have hip and lower spine issues from high impact injuries. Sleeping on my back helps set my spine straight.
Yes, I noticed my face is way more wrinkled since laying on my back.

I highly recommend a natural latex pillow made from the rubber tree as it has no off gassing chemicals and lasts long holding shape better thank memory foam. I use an O2 oxygen pillow I got at European Sleep design as a side sleeper. They are wonderful pillows and totally worth the investment. Hope that helps I bet you can find it online or at a local bedding store b UT you'll need to find the right firmness for proper cervical support
That's interesting about the wisdom teeth. My dad kept his. I still have mine. I'm 60.
Got rid of mine before jaw is way too wide .
thank you
Usually sleep on my left side although I do have back problems.
🙏🙋🏻♀️🥰🇵🇭THANKS DOC I SLEEP ON MY BACK AND SOMETIMES ON MY SIDE PREFERABLY ON MY RIGHT BUT I HAD TO SWITCH SOMETIMES ON MY LEFT DUE TO SOME ADVICE BECAUSE HEART LOCATION IS AT OUR LEFT! ANYWAY THANKS DOC 🙋🏻♀️🙏👍
I sleep on my back, but with my head elevated. I feel good during the day. I have sleep apnea and side or stomach sleeping makes little or no difference. I will be 80 next year and my skin has very few wrinkles.
My English is not perfect that's why i couldn't understand the holl idea. So please can you tell me
Does science says sleeping on your back is better and healthier (for the holl body and especially for skin wrinkles)? or not?
Can't fully understand what he is saying. I read the comments instead. What is the ideal position for sleeping?
FYI: The black model is Naomi Campbell not Tyra Banks.
And it’s funny that he mentions Johnny Depp and Madonna as representatives of different generations when they are both 60 plus
I recommend Pillow Cube for side sleeping without hurting your arms - it is a GAME CHANGER!!! (Not Sponsored lol)
When I was young, I always slept on my side. In the best physical shape of my life, i would be knocked out on my back. I am still in good shape but cannot sleep on my back. It is always on my side.
Has anyone else changed sleeping positions during their life?
i watched this video because the topic is interesting, i sleept on my back to avoid chest wrinkles and face as well, but sometimes i love to sleep on side, but my shoulder aches when luck of pillows support.
Darling, there are a number of various pillows or wedges that you can search for to help you sleep more comfortably on your side. Good luck!
For Acid Reflux, sleeping on your left side positions the stomach more comfortably.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 true... I love sleeping on my right... But I have to reluctantly turn to the left if not on the back.😊
Stomach and side are my preferred but I have forced myself to sleep on my back recently. I suffer from asthma and copd.
I have been a right side sleeper for years and as a result have less volume in right upper lip, changes in my nose and overall looks like the right side of my face is flatter
I can't believe you said that! SAME! I thought l had some neurological issue!!!! I started getting a nasal issue ( mine is same but left side, so , opposite).. l immediately started facial exercises.. ESPECIALLY THE👃! Changed position and stuff, YES , def results in face.
❤❤❤🎉🎉Hi thank you so much sweetheart
Just talking without pictures or illustrations is...
BOOOORRRRIIIIING !
I sleep on my back but I sleep in a lift chair. I stay on my back only I do turn my neck to the left or right plus do use a Bi-pack have back and neck problems. I have one of those pillow, yes I do have acid reflux .
Hi Doc Steven, you had mentioned about the type of pillow that you are currently sleeping on - Asian Husk-Filled Pillow with a Wooden Dowel inside, usage of nasal dilator strips, may I know where can I get them. I am more comfortable to sleep on my side since young. But strangely, I began to have numb arms when I woke up even though I am sleeping on contour pillow. I tried changing to sleeping on my back but somehow I will tend to sleep on my side in the middle of my sleep.
Rayna, I took a standard husk-filled pillow and cut an appropriate 1/2 inch dowel and placed it in the middle of the bottom end of the pillow. There's nothing I know of like it you can buy. If you can't sleep on your side, the use a "contour'-type pillow to bend your head back a bit to open up your airway. Good luck!
Thank you Doc, may I know what brand would you recommend for the husk filled pillow. I heard some testimonials that there are insects in the pillow after some time.
I have RA and MS and sleep ina recliner. But I used to sleep on my stomach with one leg drawn up
I don't get sleep everyday. I get tense faster and I am always stressed. If I do get sleep , then I generally sleep on my back. I have wrinkleless,young skin . I am 64 years old but I look in my 30's . If I get up in the night it is between 02:30 to 03:00 hours. Please help me to sleep better.Waiting for the response.
Thank you
So WHAT IS THE BESTPOSITION?
Doggystyle for me
Really! I am an African American 59 yo woman and do not have at wrinkles on my face and always wake up refreshed.
Flat on my back and that maybe the reason why I frequent the ent doc with only temporary relief on my nose and throat
I started sleeping on my back to prevent wrinkles ( not that I have many) but woke up too many times & it just distributed me too much so gone back to my side & bought silk pillowcases
I don't have a sleep position, i roll so i always wakes up differently😂😂😂
I used to sleep on my
back to relieve backpain
But most often , i sleep
on my left side to prevent
the occurence of my reflux
Dr Park , can you suggests
what is a good sleeping
position for me..I have back
pain and suffering from
acid reflux ..Thank you
I just started mouth taping and sleeping on my back. 😅 Now, I kinda just let my body go where it wants so I get a deep sleep which is on my side. I love the mouth tape because it makes you breathe through your nose. All this talk about sleeping 😴 is getting me sleepy.😂
Great to hear that you like mouth taping. Did you get to see my video on mouth taping?
Slept last night as I used to when I was much younger and could get up in the morning without stiffness or dizzyness. Will have to see if this works out for a longer period - if not I will change positions more often to get benefits of several positions. Thank you, slept wonderfully!
Let me see cleariy the right or correct sleeping position please!!!

Used to sleep on stomach until my spine got affected. Could not walk. Big bust also affect sleep quality
Just want to correct one thing......That is not Clark Gable but rather Cary Grant, who was far more good looking than Gable
I like sleeping on my back
I find it comfortable sleeping at a slant. I can breathe better as my sinuses drain and I do not get congested. There is nothing pressing on my face. Therefore, there are no wrinkles. A small, soft pillow to support my neck is sufficient.
Spent sleepless nights when on my back😮looked old and haggard with raccoon -like circles 😮around my eyes in the morning.
Hi Doctor please which is the best sleeping position not only avoid wrinkles but also for health purposes thank you.
Sleep in whatever position you preferred when you were younger. Experiment. Problems arise if you get injured or given bad advice, since you won't be able to breathe properly due to gravity's effect on the airway.
I used to sleep on my stomach when i was a kid. Slept on my back when i was older. Now i sleep on my left side. I have to because of sleep apnea. I cant breathe in any other position. If i lay on my back and im wide awake my throat will close and i cant breathe.
Is there a operation to help sleep apnea. In a sleep study they said i stopped breathing about 200 times an hour.
I can’t sleep on my left side.
It hurts my chest. Anyone with similar experience?? And why?
I have neck , lower back and shoulder pain what is my best position should i do.
I am a die hard belly and side sleeper. I feel very uncomfortable sleeping on my back.
I prefer sleeping on my left side.
I have found that I started sleeping in a Fetal position, as I am getting older, which doesn’t help my already poor posture.
