Here is a ranking of sleeping positions for lash retention from worst to best:
3. Stomach Sleeping
For some people, sleeping in any position other than stomach position is the worst sleeping experience ever. However, it is also the worst possible sleeping position for your lash extensions. This position makes it really easy for your lashes to rub against your pillow. This will put trauma on your lashes and cause your lashes to fall out faster.
2. On your side
While not ideal, it is still better than stomach sleeping. Many side sleepers have complained about excessive fall out on only one eye. If you’re having that problem, maybe try the best sleeping position for lash extensions -
1. On your back
Sleeping on your back is ideal for your lash extensions. It ensures that there isn’t any physical contact or rubbing from your pillows or blankets. It is also good for your skin. We always recommend clients to sleep on their backs if they have gotten their lash extensions done to prevent any excessive fallout caused from rubbing.
Sleeping on your back is the best for your lash extensions, but it is not the only factor that affects the retention of your lashes. As long as you take care of lash extensions with proper aftercare, you can still most likely sleep on your stomach without any issues.
