During the healing process, sleeping on your side or with the pierced area pressed against a pillow may cause irritation or delay healing. Consider using a clean, soft pillow or a specifically designed piercing pillow to minimize any risks. If your piercing is new, try to maintain a clean environment, and avoid sleeping on the piercing to prevent any complications.
