Have you ever dramatically shifted sleeping positions?
For years, I slept on my stomach and smashed my cheek / face against a pillow or nothing at all.
Now, I sleep mostly on my back w/ head elevated a bit to reduce fluid retention / swelling in the face. It's quite nice but taking me awhile to get used to.
I have a decent case of rosacea, which basically means I have sensitive skin that can flare up when it's irritated so doc recommended keeping my face off the pillow to avoid irritation and elevated since that helps with swelling.
During a really bad flare up, my face turns red and swells a bit. Besides it being a cosmetic thing, it actually hurts (stings and burns).

Makes sense!
Yeah, then I read about all the benefits of sleeping on your back and it kind of took off.
I used to bite the insides of my cheeks when I slept on my stomach / side but that no longer happens when I stay on my back.
