All ladies would have heard this before at some point in their lives, “Don’t sleep on your side! It’s going to make your breasts be uneven.” In this episode of #ThursdayswithTang, Dr Anthony Tang explains that sleeping positions does not change the size of your breasts. Breast growth is stimulated by growth hormones when you are younger and the growth is not affected by your sleeping posture.
There is no research showing that sleeping positions (especially on your side or on your stomach) affect the shape and size of your breasts. So ladies, sleep in whatever positions that you feel most comfortable in!
