Creases down the center of the chest usually indicate that you’ve been sleeping on your side. When you sleep on your side, the weight of your body and gravity will cause the creases. We call these vertical lines down the center of your chest “sleep crush.” In addition to the formation of these specific lines, your sleep position can also deepen the natural lines of facial expression. This is especially apparent in the nasolabial folds (the lines that connect the nostrils to the outer corners of the mouth) and the marionette lines that extend from the lower lip to the chin.
You can train yourself to get off your side and sleep on your back. For lifelong side or facedown sleepers, this may feel uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it. If you just can’t train yourself to stay on your back through the night, try the Therapeutica Sleeping Pillow, which is specially contoured to support the head and cradle the neck. We’ve had patients who have noticed fewer wrinkles after using this special pillow for only a week. We also recommend extending your anti-aging skincare to your face and chest.
